Abstract

Uni- or biaxially stretched materials, particularly films, of polyethylene or like crystallizable polyolefines, are treated by subjection to high energy ionizing radiation to produce cross-linking insufficient to inhibit further orientation, heating the cross-linked material, and subjecting it while hot to uni- or biaxial orientation, and cooling. "Like crystallizable polyolefines" includes polypropylene, copolymers of ethylene and propylene and copolymers, including graft and block copolymers, of ethylene or propylene with minor amounts of isobutylene, amylene, butadiene or 1- or 2-butene. In a preferred process, orientation is effected by stretching the material in the form of a tube by gas inflation between pairs of nip rollers or other restricting means, heating being effected by passing the tube through a hot liquid. Film made by the process of the invention is heat-shrinkable and may be used for packaging foodstuffs and other articles, and for the production of balloons, squeeze bottles, bottle caps, gaskets, and bottle closures formed by shrinking the material on the neck of the bottle.
