Abstract

Abstract A composite film structure composed of a layer (A) of high density polyethylene having an intrinsic viscosity [n] as measured in decalin at 135°C of 1.3 to 2.9 dl/g, a melt index (MI A ) of 0.3 to 7.0 g/10 min. and a density of 0.950 to 0.970 g/cm3, in which up to 2 mole % of an alpha-olefin may be contained; and layers (B) of an ethylene/C 5 -C 10 alpha-olefin random copolymer having an intrinsic viscosity [n] as measured in decalin at 135°C of 1.0 to 2.4 dl/g, a melt index (MI B ) of 0.5 to 20 g/10 min., a density of 0.910 to 0.940 g/cm 3 , and a melting point of 115 to 130°C, with the proviso that the MI A /MI B ratio is 0.15/1 to 4.0/l, said layers (B) being in direct contact with the two sides of said layer (A) and laminated thereto.
