AI Technical Summary
The existing packaging films are difficult to balance in terms of manual cutting and heat sealing performance, resulting in cutting difficulties and poor sealing problems in practical applications.
A multilayer film structure is adopted, including an unstretched or unirradiated low-density polyethylene film, a biaxially stretched polyethylene film, and an unstretched or unirradiated low-density polyethylene film. By adjusting the thickness and density of the film layer, the mechanical properties of the film are optimized.
