Abstract

L'objectif de l'invention est de mettre au point une composition de résine permettant de produire un film d'emballage de contenant qui possède d'excellentes propriétés en termes d'aspect et d'antiadhérence et qui ne présente aucun risque de contamination du contenant. A cet effet, la composition de résine mise au point selon l'invention comprend 40 à 90 % en poids d'un polymère à base de propylène et 10 à 60 % en poids d'un polyéthylène haute densité (la somme du polymère à base de propylène et du polyéthylène haute densité constituant 100 % en poids), cette composition étant sensiblement exempte de lubrifiant et d'agent antiadhérent et le rapport entre l'indice de fluidité du polymère à base de propylène à 230 °C et celui du polyéthylène haute densité à 190 °C étant compris entre 5 et 200. L'invention concerne également un film d'emballage de contenant, un film d'hermétisation, un produit stratifié, un sac d'emballage de contenant et un emballage de contenant comprenant ladite composition de résine.
