Abstract
Description
Background of the invention
[0001] The present application provides compositions, films and articles comprising propylene / ethylene random copolymers.
[0002] Optical performance, toughness, hardness and seal strength are important performance requirements for packaging. Current propylene / ethylene random copolymers provide optimum properties at the expense of other properties. Generally, if a technician adds more ethylene to a propylene / ethylene random copolymer, toughness and haze are improved while hardness and gloss are reduced. Likewise, too much ethylene can adversely affect sealing parameters such as heat seal initiation temperature and / or hot tack initiation temperature. Conversely, when the ethylene content in the propylene / ethylene random copolymer resin is reduced, hardness is improved while toughness and optical properties are adversely affected.
[0003] There is a recognized need in the art for propylene / ethylene random copolymers having improved hardness while...
