Abstract

New blends of ethylene/carboxylic acid copolymers with high density polyethylene and inorganic fillers such as calcium carbonate are disclosed and are useful for making films for skin packaging applications.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to blends of ethylene/carboxylic acid copolymers with high density polyethylene and inorganic fillers, which blends are useful for making films for skin packaging applications.
Skin packaging is a packaging method involving placing a product on a substrate material, such as paperboard, and draping heated plastic film over the product and substrate. A vacuum is then applied to draw the film down tightly to the board and around the product to make a secure and attractive package. One common application for skin packaging is industrial skin packaging used to protect products in transit. Products as divergent as computer tapes, lamps, service repair kits and table tops may be skin packaged instead of using die-cut corrugated, foam-in-place, foam peanuts and other stabilizing or dunnage materials. Skin packaging offers high throughputs and full visibility to check for tampering or missing components and also allows for quick identification, usually at significant cost reductions.
Low density polyethylene films are often used for skin packaging applications, but skin packaging films of ethylene/acid copolymers have been found to possess faster cycle times, better board adhesion, improved draw and better toughness than the low density polyethylene films. Oddly enough, one drawback of the ethylene/acid copolymer films is their relatively good optical properties since they more readily show the relatively unattractive packaging board used for the skin packaging of industrial items. Additionally, the industrial items themselves are often relatively unattractive. Thus, a method for affecting the optical properties of the ethylene/acid copolymer films, while not adversely affecting the desirable properties of such films, such as adhesion, was desired.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A method of modifying ethylene/acid copolymers by blending them with high density polyethylene and inorganic fillers has now been found which serves to degrade the optical properties of films made therefrom without degrading the adhesive and other desirable properties of such films. Surprisingly, this modification of the ethylene/acid copolymers leads to films which not only retain the adhesive properties of the unmodified copolymers, but in some cases leads to films with adhesive properties superior to that of the unmodified copolymers. Specifically, this invention relates to novel blends comprising:
(a) about 75 to 95.5% by weight of one or more ethylene/carboxylic acid copolymers;
(b) about 5 to 20% by weight of high density polyethylene; and
(c) about 0.5 to 5% by weight of a particulate inorganic filler, and to films made therefrom.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The ethylene/carboxylic acid copolymers which comprise the greatest part of the blends of this invention are copolymers of ethylene with an alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid preferably having 3 to 8 carbon atoms. Examples of acid monomers include acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, ethacrylic acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, and monoesters of said dicarboxylic acids, such as methyl hydrogen fumarate, ethyl hydrogen fumarate and maleic anhydride. The concentration of acidic monomer in the copolymer is generally about 1 to 20 weight %, and preferably from about 3 to 15 weight %. Preferred copolymers are copolymers of ethylene with methacrylic acid or acrylic acid, or terpolymers of ethylene, maleic anhydride and esters of acrylic acid such as ethyl acrylate. The most preferred copolymer is a copolymer of ethylene with methacrylic acid, having an acid content of about 9 weight % and a melt index of about 1.5.
The particulate inorganic fillers useful in this invention are those fillers well known in the art for incorporation into films to improve handling characteristics. The preferred filler is calcium carbonate, but examples of other fillers which may be utilized include, but are not limited to, mica, aluminum silicate, magnesium silicate, and barium sulfate. Preferably, so as not to adversely affect the quality of the film, the filler is quite uniform in size; e.g., for the preferred calcium carbonate filler, a particle distribution would preferably range from about 0.3 to 50 microns, and more preferably from about 0.3 to 20 microns. Also, when it is desired to degrade the optical properties of the film (e.g., increase haze or reduce transparency), the refractive index of the filler preferably differs from that of the ethylene/acid copolymer and the high density polyethylene used in the blend.
The preferred high density polyethylene is a linear ethylene homopolymer of medium molecular weight distribution having a melt index of about 1.1.
A preferred composition comprises about 82 to 94% by weight of ethylene/acid copolymer, about 5 to 15% by weight high density polyethylene, and about 1 to 3 weight % inorganic filler.
The blends of this invention may be made and extruded into films by methods known in the art. The following examples illustrate blends and films of this invention.
EXAMPLES

Component A: 88% by weight of ethylene/methacrylic acid copolymer having 9% methacrylic acid, a Melt Index of 1.5
Component B: 10% by weight of high density polyethylene hav:ng a Melt Index of 1.1
Component C: 2% by weight calcium carbonate, 3-5 micron average particle size and extruded into films 4 and 6 mil thick. Control films extruded from Component A alone and from low density polyethylene (LDPE) alone were also prepared. Properties for these films are presented in the following table.
