Abstract

Abstract A biaxially-stretched polypropylene composite film comprises a biaxially-stretched substrate film of a crystalline polypropylene and a monoaxially- or biaxially-stretched film of a resin composition bonded in laminated state to at least one surface of the substrate film, the resin composition comprising 96 to 50 percent (by weight) of a propylene copolymer (a), 3 to 30 percent of a polybutene-1 (b), and 1 to 20 percent of an ethylene-propylene-butene-1 random copolymer (c). The propylene copolymer (a) is an ethylene-propylene random copolymer (a 1 ), an ethylene-propylene-butene-1 random copolymer (a 2 ), or a mixture (a 3 ) of at least two kinds of copolymers each of at least two monomers selected from ethylene, propylene, and butene-1. The resin composition comprising the components (a), (b) and (c) is also provided and is characterized by its capability of being heat sealed at low temperatures.
