Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to novel blends containing crystalline polypropylene or propylene containing copolymer, low density polyethylene, hydrocarbon tackifying resin, and a fatty acid amide useful as extrusion coating compositions which provide coatings having good coatability and good heat sealability. These coated substrates then can be used in fabricating bags and other packaging applications. These extrusion coating compositions are a blend of a crystalline polypropylene, or propylene containing copolymer, low density polyethylene, hydrocarbon tackifying resin, and a fatty acid amide containing 16 to 40 carbon atoms.
