Definitions
- This invention relates to antibacterial microporous films and
- the film may include
- PVOH polyvinyl alcohol
- thermoplastic film having air and moisture vapor permeabilities
- polypropylene phase is first embossed prior to biaxially drawing
- the dispersed amorphous phase serves to provide
- the embossed film is
- per square inch is equivalent to about 2 to 25 embossed lines per inch.
- polymer forms a continuous phase and a second polymer forms a
- the continuous film matrix of a crystallizable polymer may also be
- inorganic filler such as clay, titanium dioxide, calcium
- European patent 1 41 592 discloses the use of a polyolefin
- EVA ethylene vinyl acetate
- films where the dispersed phase may be a polyethylene filled with calcium
- the embossing is up to 300 bosses per square inch which is
- microporous film having a pore size not greater than about 0.2 micron
- microporosities less than about 0.2 micron.
- plastic films and breathable microporous films to provide air
- This invention is directed to antibacterial microporous
- thermoplastic films and a method for making them.
- the product can be
