Abstract

Abstract A polypropylene multi-layer film which comprises a crystalline polypropylene substrate layer having laminated to at least one side thereof a sheet of a resin composition comprising: (A) 10-90% by weight of a propylene random copolymer satisfying that (i) the comonomer content is 4-15% by weight, (ii) the Vicat softening point is 122 DEG C. or less, and (iii) the cold xylene-soluble portion content is 15% by weight or less, (B) 10-90% by weight of a copolymer of propylene and an alpha -olefin having four or more carbon atoms or a copolymer of propylene, an alpha -olefin having four or more carbon atoms and ethylene satisfying that: (i) the content of the alpha -olefin having four or more carbon atoms is 8-35 mole %, (ii) the ethylene content is 5 mole % or less, (iii) the cold xylene-soluble portion content is 15-70% by weight, and (iv) the DELTA haze is 5% or less, and (C) 0-15% by weight of a highly crystalline polypropylene having a melting point of 150 DEG C. or more. This polypropylene multi-layer film has an excellent, low-temperature heat sealing property, a good transparency, a good scratch resistance, and so on.
