Abstract
Abstract Extensible, transparent, and self-adhering films, particularly suitable for packaging food, are disclosed. The films, which are also useful for sealing open containers, have a thickness of from 10 to 40 microns and consist of a mixture comprising low-density polyethylene, amorphous ethylene/propylene copolymers, at least one monoglyceride of a fatty acid containing from 12 to 25 carbon atoms in the chain, and vaseline oil.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
Extensible films for packaging, having a thickness comprised between 10 and 40 microns and consisting of a mixture comprising the following components: (a) from 70 to 95 parts by weight of a polyethylene having a density of 0.918 to 0.925; (b) from 30 to 5 parts by weight of an amorphous ethylene/propylene copolymer, having a Mooney viscosity at 100° C. comprised between 20 and 60; (c) from 0.1 to 1 part by weight, on 100 parts by weight of (a) + (b), of at least one monoglyceride of fatty acid containing, with reference to the fatty acid, from 12 to 25 carbon atoms in the chain; and (d) from 0.1 to 0.5 parts by weight, on 100 parts by weight of (a) + (b), of paraffin oil.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
