Description
LOW COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION ORIENTED FILM
This invention relates to low-coefficient of friction oriented films; more parti cularly , this invention relates to a oriented multi -layer polypropylene films having a low film-to-film coeffi cient of friction ( OOF) . Highly crystalline polypropylene film is an excellent packaging material , but it has a high film-to-film COF which makes it diffi cult or impossible for i t to be successfully util ized in automatic packaging equipment. The film will not respond to the packaging speed capability of the system and , as a consequence , jamming results .
In the past , the COF characteristics of polypropylene film have been benefi cially modified by the inclusion in the polypropylene of COF-improving additives ; for example , fatty acid amides. The effectiveness of an amide to reduce COF depends upon its abil ity to migrate to the surface of the film. While such amides can improve the COF of the film, the value of the COF is , however , subject to wide variation depending upon the thermal history of the film during storage , shipping and certain converting processes. The presence of such amides on the film surfaces can, furthermore , adversely affect the film 's appearance as manifested by an increase in haze , a decrease in gloss and the presence of streaks . The presence of such amides on the surface can also adversely affect their wettability and the adhes ion of solvent and water base inks , coatings , adhesives; and of metals .
In an effort to improve the COF of polypropylene film without adversely affecting the film 's appearance , wetting and adhes ion , it has been proposed in
US 4578316
to prepare a polypropylene film having on at least one surface thereof a layer of a blend of (1) a member selected from the group consisting of a medium density polyethylene (MDPE), a high density polyethylene (HDPE) or a blend thereof, and (2) polypropylene. This document further discloses that the two materials in the surface layer can be blended in an amount from 2% by weight to 60% by weight of the medium or high density polyethylene with the remainder being the polypropylene. The document also suggests that at percentages of 60 to 100% MDPE or HDPE, the surface layers are too soft and too hazy. That such high MDPE or HDPE content films would have comparatively inferior optical properties is not unexpected, because MDPE and HDPE films are known to be hazy and opaque. This invention seeks to provide polypropylene film having a low COF which is stable with respect to thermal history; and good optical, wetting and adhesion properties.
This invention provides an oriented multi-layer film which comprises at least a first surface layer of a polymeric material comprising high density polyethylene (HDPE) and a second layer of a polymeric material comprising polypropylene wherein the film has been oriented by stretching it at a temperature above the melting point of the high density polyethylene but below the melting point of the polypropylene, preferably without added prior COF or antiblock agents; for example, fatty acid amides.
The polypropylenes which can be used to prepare the film of this invention are well known in the art.
They are generally formed by polymerizing propylene in the presence of stereospecific catalyst systems. These polypropylenes can have a melt flow rate from 1 to 25, preferably from 1 to 8. The crystalline melting point of these materials is from 160°C (320°F) to 169°C (336°F).
The number average molecular weight ranges from 25 ,000 to 100 ,000 while their speci fic gravity ranges from 0.90 to 0.91. Although it is preferred to use a pure polypropylene layer in the films of this invention , the polypropylene may also be modified ; for example , by copolymerization with small amounts of another monomer or by blending with another material , so long as the mel ting point of the resulting material is sufficiently above that of the HDPE layer to allow for orientation of the film at a temperature between the mel ting points of the materials of the two layers. *
The comparatively low COF material of which the surface layer is comprised is high density polyethylene (HDPE) . For the purposes of this invention, the HDPEs have specific gravity from 0.941 to 0.965 and a melt index from 0.5 to 18. It is preferred that at least one surface layer of the film cons ist solely of HDPE; however , the HDPE may be blended with other materials ; for example, polypropylene or MDPE, so long as the melting point of the blend is sufficiently below that of the polypropylene layer to allow for orientation of the film at a temperature between those two melting points .
The preferred oriented multi-layer films of this invention are two or three layer films having the configuration A/B, A/B/A or A/B/C where A is the HDPE layer, B is the polypropylene layer, and C is one or more of any number of functional layers (e .g . sealant) . Additional layers of polymeric material may be incorporated in these films, however. For example, tie layers of adhes ives may be used to add other functional or cost reduction layers. An example of a preferred third layer is a layer comprising a copolymer of ethyl ene with propylene; a terpolymer of ethyl ene, propylene and a further olefin (for example 1-butene) or a blend thereof . Such copolymers and/or terpoly ers generally contain from 2 to 7 weight % ethyl ene and 2 to 7 weight % 1-butene.
Each surface or skin layer or HDPE generally comprises from 2 to 15%, preferably from 2 to 5%, of the overall thickness of the film although thicker layers could be used to prepare a stiffer film or a film with better water barrier properties.
The oriented multi -layer film of this invention may be prepared by coextrusion, extrusion coating or casting methods known in the art . The coextrusion of HDPE with polypropylene , like other coextrusions, requires the proper matching of polymer viscos ities and flow velocities in the die. It has been found that this can be accomplished by pairing low melt flow (1.9 to 2.5) polypropylene resins with comparable melt index (1 to 3.0) HDPE resins. It is also possible to improve the flow compatibility of the two resins through extrusion condition changes . It has been found that the HDPE/polypropylene coextrusion can be most successfully cast onto a cast roll having a temperature from 60 °C (140 °F) to 72°C (160 °F). The multi -layer film structures of this invention are oriented, generally biaxially, for added strength and enhanced properties . Generally, the films are stretched from 300 to 700% in the machine direction and from 500 to 900% in the transverse direction. As indicated previously, it has been found to be critical, for preparing a film with low haze and high gloss , to orient the film structure at a temperature above the melting point of the HDPE layer and below the melting point of the polypropylene layer. To achieve best results , the film should also be rapidly quenched after orientation. Orientation of a HDPE/polypropylene film according to this invention has been successfully achieved at over temperatures from 125°C (260 °F) to 160°C (320 °F) .
The process of the present invention is illustrated in greater detail as follows : polypropylene homopolymer res in (melt flow 3 to 4) is fed into the main extruder of an A/B coextrus ion system while HDPE res in (melt index 3.0) is fed into the satell ite extruder. The ratio of these materials is 95/5. The melt temperature of the polypropylene is 254 °C (490 °F) while that of the HDPE is 257 °C ( 495 °F). The molten materials are joined in a multi cavity die and cast onto a pol ished chrome chill roll with a set point of 60°C (140 °F) . The cast sheet is 30 mils thick and enters a water bath 38°C (100 °F) . Following this initial quench , the sheet is reheated to 132°C (270 °F) and stretched in the machine direction five times . The thinned sheet is then fed into a tenter frame where it is preheated at a temperature of 168°C (335 °F) and stretched eight times in the transverse direction . It is heat set at 149°C ( 300 °F) , trimmed and wound into a roll .
Multi -layer film s> cinctures can be prepared according to this invention which exhibit coefficients of friction of below 0.40 , generally from 0.30 to 0.40 , good gloss (greater than 80) and low haze (less than 3.0) without the use of migratory or non-migratory additives to the polypropylene or its surface. These films possess the unique abil ity to develop weld bonds between the film and laminate when used in extrusion lamination with low dens ity polyethylene. They also offer a unique sl ip surface for metall izati on as well as a surface which accepts water and solvent based inks when surface treated in a manner known to the art .

EXAMPLE 18
Coextruded biaxially oriented PP/HDPE film structures according to this invention were extrusion laminated to other films and tested for machinability and bond strength as well as coefficient of friction. The film structures of this invention which were tested are identified as follows:
Film A = HDPE-l/PP-l/HDPE-1
Film B = HDPE-l/PP-l/HDPE-1 Film C = HDPE-l/PP-3 HDPE-l
Film D = PP-5/HDPE-1
Film E = PP-5/HDPE-1
Film F = PP-5/HDPE-1
Film G = PP-5/HDPE-1 Film H = HDPE-2/PP-5/(ethylene/propylene copolymer)
In the A/B or A/B/C film structures, Films A-C and H, the HDPE layer comprises from 2 to 5% of the overall thickness of the film. In the A/B/A structures, the total HDPE layers comprise from 5 to 10% of the overall thickness of the film. Although a number of the film structures comprise the same polymer layers (e.g . , Films A and B) , they are designated separately because they were prepared at different times in different runs . The coextruded film structures of this invention or, for purposes of comparison, a biaxially oriented polypropylene film (PP) , were extrusion laminated with low density polyethylene films (LDPE) to either glassine or PXS, optionally being coated with polyethylene imine primer. The results of machinability and bond strength tests are presented in TABLE 2.

The data presented in TABLE 2 indicate that in all cases, the oriented HDPE/PP film structures of this invention outperformed the oriented PP film structures in the force-over-the-forming -collar (FOFC) test. In all but 5 one test , the film structures of this invention produced
FOFC of 20 lbs. or less . FOFC of 25 lbs . or less is considered to be good machinability. The PP film performed in its usual range of 38 to +50 lbs . The HDPE/PP film structures performed as well in the PXS
I® lamination as the PP films . The reason for the poor performance of Film Structure 3 is not known but may be due to uneven skin distribution experienced during parts of the early run.
The other test for machinabil ity, film-to-film COF,
15 indicated slightly higher coefficients of friction for the film structures of the invention than for the PP film laminations.
The data in TABLE 2 also show that the HDPE skins of the films of this invention have excellent bonds in LDPE
2® extrusion laminations . In Trial 1, the extrusion temperatures were low, resulting in poor bond strengths . The PP lamination, which would normally have a bond of 25-40 g/in. , had a bond strength of only 6.5 g/in. Other variables run during that trial had similarly low bond
25 strengths. Despite the poor processing conditions, the
HDPE skin film had a bond strength of 82.6 g/in.
In Trial 3, normal lamination conditions were run and a slightly higher than normal PP bond of 51 g/in. was measured compared to the 350 g/in. bonds for the HDPE skin
30 films . In addition, the 350 g/in. was the strength of the face of the glassine tearing with the actual film to poly bond strength being even greater.
The extrusion temperatures were run hot in Trial 4 which, it is bel ieved , is why the bond strengths were higher for all variables.
EXAMPLE 19
A film structure according to this invention , a coextrusion of PP-5/HDPE-1 ( Film G) , was tested in adhes ive laminations to PXS and compared to laminations with oriented PP film. For these laminations , the HDPE side of the film structure was buried . To test for bond strength, two substrates were joined together at a nip point under pressure and heat. The first substrate was coated with adhesive and then dried . The coated substrate was then joined to the second substrate at a high pressure heated nip. Bond strengths were measured initially and after aging . The adhes ives used were either a poly vinyl idene chloride (PVdC) a urethane , or Duro-Hex 56 (compos ition unknown, available from National Starch and Chemi cal Corporation, Bridgewater, NJ) . The results are presented in TABLE 3.

PP/Urethane/PXS 482 Tear
Film G/Duro-Flex 56/PXS 262 198
PP/Duro-Flex 56/PXS 293 107
The results in TABLE 3 indicate that the PVdC bond strengths of the HDPE skin film of this invention are
better than those of the PP film. The urethane bonds were slightly lower on the HDPE skin films , but they were still well within the fitness-for-use range. Duro-Flex 56 bonds were very good.
EXAMPLE 20
High density polyethylene has a reputation for being an easy to treat substrate. This was verified by tests on A/B film structures or polypropylene (melt flow 2.25)/HDPE (melt index 1.1) . The results are presented in TABLE 4.

The data in TABLE 4 illustrate that a level of 42 dyne/cm was achieved at a power setting of 150V. , 6.4a. , the same power setting normally used to treat oriented homopolymer polypropylene film to 36-37 dynes/cm. A value as high as 54- was measured on one sample.
EXAMPLE 21
Several film structures accord ing to this invention were evaluated for waterbased ink blocking us ing the following test. Ink ( CZ Aqualam P waterbased ink) was placed on the film and drawn down us ing a Meyer Rod metering system and then dried thoroughly. The sample was then placed in a standard 3-day blocking tes t at 100 psi , 125 °F. The test was run treated s ide to printed treated side . Separation bond strength was measured using an Instron machine. The results are presented in TABLE 5.
