Definitions
- This invention relates to conformable and die-cuttable biaxially oriented films and labelstocks, and more particularly to biaxially stretch-oriented monolayer and multilayer films and labelstocks.
- Failure to reliably dispense is typically characterized by the label following the carrier around a peel plate without dispensing or “standing-off” from the carrier for application to the substrate. Such failure to dispense is believed to be associated with excessive release values between the label facestock material and the liner. Dispensability also is dependent upon the stiffness of the facestock. Failure to dispense may also be characterized by the wrinkling of the label due to lack of label stiffness at the dispensing speed as it is transferred from the carrier to the substrate. Another particular need in many labeling applications is the ability to apply polymeric-film labels at high line speeds, since an increase in line speed has obvious cost saving advantages.
- the facestock material be a film of polymeric material which can provide properties lacking in paper, such as clarity, durability, strength, water-resistance, abrasion-resistance, gloss and other properties.
- polymeric facestock material of thicknesses greater than about 3 mils (75 microns) have been used in order to assure dispensability in automatic labeling apparatuses.
- plasticized polyvinyl chloride films about 3.5 to 4.0 mils (87.5 to 100 microns) thick were used in label application because these films exhibited the desired flexibility characteristics.
- Polymeric materials suggested in the prior art as useful in preparing labels include biaxially-oriented polypropylene (“BOPP”) of thicknesses down to about 2.0 mils (50 microns). These materials provide cost savings as they are relatively inexpensive, and they have sufficient stiffness to dispense well. However, these materials also have relatively high tensile modulus values in both machine-direction (MD) and cross direction (CD) which results in labels which are not very conformable.
- BOPP biaxially-oriented polypropylene
- One embodiment of this invention is a die-cuttable, biaxially stretch-oriented monolayer film comprising a polyethylene having a density of about 0.940 g/cm 3 or less, a propylene polymer or copolymer, or mixtures thereof, wherein the tensile modulus of the film in the machine direction is greater than the tensile modulus in the cross direction, the tensile modulus of the film in the cross direction is about 150,000 psi or less, and the film is free of copolymers of ethylene with an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or ester.
- the biaxially oriented monolayer films have been biaxially stretch-oriented and heat set.
- the invention relates to a die-cuttable, stretch-oriented multilayer film comprising
- the biaxially oriented multilayer films are useful in particular in preparing adhesive containing labelstock for use in adhesive labels.
- the invention relates to a die-cuttable, biaxially stretch-oriented monolayer film comprising at least one polyolefin wherein the film has been stretch-oriented in the machine direction at a stretch ratio of about 9:1 to about 10:1, and in the cross direction at a stretch ratio of from greater than 1:1 to about 3:1.
- the present invention in one embodiment, relates to the discovery that biaxially stretch-oriented monolayer and multilayer films can be prepared which are characterized as having improved conformability, die-cuttability, and/or dispensability.
- films having improved clarity can be prepared.
- conformable films usually have poor die-cutting properties
- the present invention provides conformable films that have acceptable die-cutting properties, and, therefore, these films may be used for labeling bottles and tubes or in other label applications that require clarity and conformability.
- Multilayered film constructions can be prepared in accordance with the present invention having skin layers designed to provide printability, or to provide other desirable characteristics such as stiffness so that the film can be down gauged, or both.
- the biaxially stretch-oriented monolayer films of the present invention comprise a polyethylene having a density of about 0.940 g/cm 3 or less, a propylene polymer or copolymer, or mixtures thereof, wherein the tensile modulus of the film in the machine direction is greater than the tensile modulus in the cross direction, the tensile modulus of the film in the cross direction is about 150,000 psi or less, and the film is free of copolymers of ethylene with an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or ester.
- Useful ethylene homopolymers include those having densities of about 0.940 or less.
- Polyethylenes having densities of from 0.850 to about 0.925 g/cm 3 generally are referred to as low density polyethylenes, and polyethylenes having densities between about 0.925 and 0.940 g/cm 3 are referred to in the art as being medium density polyethylenes.
- the low and medium density polyethylenes also may be characterized as having a melt index (as determined by ASTM Test D1238, condition E) in the range of from 0.5 to about 25.
- the low density polyethylenes may be characterized by tensile strengths of between about 2200 to about 3200 psi (typically about 2700 psi), and the medium density polyethylenes may be characterized as having tensile strengths of between about 3000 and about 4000 psi (typically about 3400 psi).

- the propylene copolymers which may be utilized generally comprise copolymers of propylene and up to about 40% by weight of at least one alpha-olefin selected from ethylene and alpha-olefins containing from 4 to about 8 carbon atoms.
- alpha-olefins include ethylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, and 1-octene.
- the copolymers of propylene which are utilized in the present invention comprise copolymers of propylene with ethylene, 1 -butene or 1-octene.
- the propylene alpha-olefin copolymers useful in the present invention include random as well as block copolymers although the random copolymers generally are preferred. Blends of the copolymers as well as blends of the copolymers with propylene homopolymers can be utilized as the composition for the base layer.
- the propylene copolymers are propylene-ethylene copolymers with ethylenic contents of from about 0.2% to about 10% by weight.
- the ethylene content is from about 3% to about 10% by weight and more preferably from about 3% to about 6% by weight.
- 1-butene contents of up to about 15% by weight are useful.
- the 1-butene content generally may range from about 3% by weight up to about 15% by weight, and in other embodiments, the range may be from about 5% to about 15% by weight.
- Propylene-1-octene copolymers useful in the present invention may contain up to about 40% by weight of 1-octene. More often, the propylene-1-octene copolymers will contain up to about 20% by weight of 1-octene.
- the propylene copolymers useful in the present invention may be prepared by techniques well known to those skilled in the art, and many such copolymers are available commercially.
- the copolymers useful in the present invention may be obtained by copolymerization of propylene with an alpha-olefin such as ethylene or 1-butene using single-site metallocene catalysts.
- an alpha-olefin such as ethylene or 1-butene using single-site metallocene catalysts.
- the propylene copolymers useful in the invention have an MFR of from about 1 to about 20, preferably from about 1 to about 12.
- the monolayer films of the invention which are described above also are characterized as being free of copolymers of ethylene monomer with an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or ester comonomer.
- a film is considered to be free of such copolymers when there is less than about 0.1% by weight of such copolymers in the film.
- Specific examples of copolymers which are excluded from the films of this embodiment of the invention are the ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), ethylene methyl acrylate (EMA) and ethylene n-butyl acrylate (EnBA) copolymers.
- the films of the invention may contain other polymers and copolymers, the presence of incompatible polymers and copolymers should be minimized or essentially avoided when a clear film (low haze) is desired.
- the amount of incompatible polymer which can be included depends on the particular polymer (e.g., degree of incompatibility) and the degree of haze that can be tolerated.
- nucleating agents and particulate fillers can be incorporated into the monolayer films of the present invention.
- the amount of nucleating agent added should be an amount sufficient to provide the desired modification of the crystal structure while not having an adverse effect on the desired properties of the films. It is generally desired to utilize a nucleating agent to modify the crystal structure and provide a large number of considerably smaller crystals or spherulites to improve the transparency (clarity), stiffness, and the die-cuttability of the film. Obviously, the amount of nucleating agent added to the film formulation should not have a deleterious effect on the clarity of the film. Nucleating agents which have been used heretofore for polymer films include mineral nucleating agents and organic nucleating agents.
- mineral nucleating agents examples include carbon black, silica, kaolin and talc.
- organic nucleating agents which have been suggested as useful in polyolefin films include salts of aliphatic mono-basic or di-basic acids or arylalkyl acids such as sodium succinate, sodium glutarate, sodium caproate, sodium 4-methylvalerate, aluminum phenyl acetate, and sodium cinnamate.
- Alkali metal and aluminum salts of aromatic and alicyclic carboxylic acids such as aluminum benzoate, sodium or potassium benzoate, sodium beta-naphtholate, lithium benzoate and aluminum tertiary-butyl benzoate also are useful organic nucleating agents.
- Substituted sorbitol derivatives such as bis (benzylidene) and bis (alkylbenzilidine) sorbitols wherein the alkyl groups contain from about 2 to about 18 carbon atoms are useful nucleating agents. More particularly, sorbitol derivatives such as 1,3,2,4-dibenzylidene sorbitol, 1,3,2,4-di-para-methylbenzylidene sorbitol, and 1,3,2,4-di-para-methylbenzylidene sorbitol are effective nucleating agents for polypropylenes. Useful nucleating agents are commercially available from a number of sources. Millad 8C-41-10 is a concentrate of 10% Millad 3988 (a sorbitol nucleating agent) and 90% polypropylene and is available from Milliken Chemical Co.
- the amounts of nucleating agent incorporated into the film formulations of the present invention are generally quite small and range from about 100 to about 2000 or 4000 ppm of the film.
- the amount of nucleating agent should not exceed about 2000 ppm, and in one embodiment, a concentration of about 300 to 500 ppm appears optimum.
- the film may contain other additives and particulate fillers to modify the properties of the film.
- colorants may be included in the film such as TiO 2 , CaCO 3 , etc.
- the presence of small amounts of TiO 2 results in a white facestock.
- Antiblock agents also can be included in the base layer.
- AB-5 is an antiblock concentrate available from A. Schulman Inc., 3550 West Market Street, Akron, Ohio 44333, which comprises 5% solid synthetic amorphous silica in 95% low density polyethylene.
- ABPPO5SC is an antiblock concentrate from Schulman containing 5% of the synthetic amorphous silica in a propylene copolymer.
- the amount of antiblock agent (silica) present in the base layer may range from about 500 to about 5000 ppm, with amounts of about 1000 ppm being preferred.
- the film is free of inert particulate filler material although very small amounts of particulate filler material may be present in the film due to impurities etc.
- the term “free of” is intended to mean that the film contains less than about 0.1 % by weight of particulate filler material. Films which are free of particulate filler are particularly useful when it is desired to prepare a film which is clear which may be characterized as having low haze, for example, less than 10%, or less than 6% haze, or in some instances less than about 2%. Haze or clarity is determined using a BYK-Gardner haze-10 gloss meter as known in the art.
- the biaxially stretch-oriented films of this invention which are free of filler particles exhibit improved clarity, and in some instances, the films are crystal clear.
- incompatible polymers and copolymers are absent or present in minor amounts when clear films are desired.
- the monolayer films of the present invention can be formed by a variety of techniques known to those skilled in the art including blown or cast extrusion, extrusion coating or by a combination of these techniques.
- the films of the present invention are biaxially stretch-oriented. Simultaneous biaxial orientation or sequential biaxial orientation may be utilized in preparing the films of the present invention.
- One preferred process is to produce the monolayer films by simultaneous biaxial orientation processes.
- the stretch orientation in the MD be greater than the orientation in the CD by at least about 10%, or even by 20%.
- the orientation in the MD may be at a stretch ratio of from about 3:1 to about 10:1 or higher although more often the stretch ratio in the MD is from about 5:1 to about 10:1. In other embodiments, the stretch ratio in the MD may range of from about 9:1 to about 10:1 or higher. As mentioned above, the stretch ratio in the CD often is less than the stretch orientation in the MD.
- stretch ratios in the CD may be from greater than 1:1 to about 5:1, or from greater than 1:1 to about 3:1 or greater than 1:1 to about 2:1.
- a monolayer film of a polyolefin stretch-oriented in the MD at a ratio of 9:1 to 10:1 is stretch oriented in the CD at a ratio of from greater than 1:1 to about 2:1 or 3:1 or 4:1.
- the polyolefins which may be utilized in this embodiment include polyethylenes, polypropylenes, copolymers of propylene and up to about 40% by weight of at least one alpha-olefin selected from ethylene and alpha-olefins containing from 4 to about 8 carbon atoms as described above, and mixtures thereof.
- the polyolefins include low density polyethylene, medium density polyethylene and high density polyethylene, although the low and medium density polyethylenes are more often utilized.
- the high density polyethylenes are those having a density of greater than about 0.940 to about 0.965 g/cm 3 .
- the monolayer films of the invention are biaxially oriented by hot stretching the films at a temperature equal to or above the softening temperature of the film.

- the two skin layers are different since the properties desired for these layers are different. Printability, weatherability, etc. are desired for the first skin layer whereas other properties such as good bonding to an adhesive layer may be desired for the second skin layer.
- the multilayer films of the present invention may be prepared by a variety of techniques known to those skilled in the art including blown or cast extrusion, or extrusion coating or by a combination of these techniques.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,186,782 Freedman
- U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,242,650 and 5,435,963 (Rackovan et al) disclose useful procedures for preparing multilayer films, and these patents are hereby incorporated by reference.
- the multilayers can be formed by simultaneous extrusion from a suitable known type of coextrusion die, and the layers are adhered to each other in a permanently combined state to provide a unitary coextrudate.
- the base layer can be formed by extrusion of the base layer on a substrate followed by extrusion coating of the first skin layer (and optionally the second skin layer) onto the base layer thereby forming a two or three layer structure wherein the layers are adhered to each other in a permanently combined state.
- the two or three layers may be separately formed by extrusion and thereafter laminated together by the application of heat and pressure.
- the base layer is relatively thick compared to the first skin layer and the second skin layer.
- the first skin layer may be relatively thick compared to the base layer. Accordingly, thickness ratios for the three layered films may range from about 90:5:5 to 5:5:90. However, generally preferred thickness ratios for the three layered films (base: first skin:second skin) include 90:5:5, 80:10:10, 70:15:15, 85:5:10, and 80:5:15.
- the multilayer films of the present invention are biaxially stretch-oriented. Simultaneous biaxial orientation or sequential biaxial orientation may be utilized in preparing the multilayer films of the present invention. Simultaneous biaxial orientation of the multilayer films of the present invention is a preferred process in one embodiment of the present invention.
- the stretch orientation in the MD more often will be greater than the orientation in the CD by at least about 10%, or even by 20%.
- the orientation in the MD may be at a stretch ratio of from about 3:1 to about 10:1 or higher although a preferred stretch ratio in the MD is from about 5:1 to about 10:1.
- the stretch ratio in the MD is within the range of from about 9:1 to about 10:1 or higher.
- the stretch ratio in the CD generally is less than the stretch orientation in the MD.
- stretch ratios in the CD are from greater than 1:1 to about 5:1, or from greater than 1:1 to about 3:1 or greater than 1:1 to about 2:1.
- the thickness of the multilayer films described above will range from about 0.5 mils (12.5 microns) to about 6 mils (150 microns) depending upon the anticipated utility of the film. More often, however, the multilayer films of the present invention will have a thickness of about 1 to about 3.5 or 4 mils or from about 2 to about 3 mils. Such thicknesses are particularly useful for preparing labels to be applied to rigid and flexible substrates. As noted earlier, a particular feature of the multilayer film facestocks of the invention is that very thin films (i.e., 1 to 3 mils) can be prepared that are useful in forming labels.
- the selection of a particular polymer for the second skin layer is dependent on the properties and characteristics which are to be added by the presence of the second skin layer.
- the polymer for the second skin layer should be compatible with the polymer of the base layer to provide sufficient adhesion to the base layer. For example, if the base layer contains a propylene polymer, a second skin layer comprising at least some propylene polymer will adhere to the base layer without an intermediate tie layer. It also has been discovered that the use of a composition in the second skin layer that is different from the composition of the first skin layer reduces the blocking tendency when the facestock is rolled on itself.
- the second skin layer comprise a polymer that is softer than the propylene polymer or copolymer, or blends of propylene polymers and copolymers used in the base layer, particularly when the second skin layer is joined with an adhesive to a release coated liner.
- the material of the second skin layer has a lower tensile modulus than the tensile modulus of the material comprising the base layer. The use of a lower tensile modulus second skin layer results in a facestock exhibiting improved die-cuttability when compared to a facestock wherein the material of the second skin layer has a higher tensile modulus than the material of the base layer.
- the stiffness of the multilayer films of the present invention is important for proper dispensing of labels over a peel plate at higher line speeds.
- Biaxial orientation of the multilayer films increases the tensile modulus in the machine direction and cross direction. The increase in the machine direction contributes to dimensional stability and good print registration.
- the stiffness of the oriented multilayer films in the machine direction generally should be at least about 2 or 3, and may be as high as 50 or 60 Gurley. More often the stiffness of the oriented multilayer films in the MD is in the range of from about 5 or 10 up to about 25 or 35 Gurley as measured in accordance with the TAPPI Gurley Stiffness Test T543pm.
- Gurley stiffness in the CD generally is in the same ranges but the stiffness in the CD is less than the stiffness in the MD.
- the biaxially stretch-oriented monolayer films and multilayer films of the present invention which have been described above are further characterized as having a tensile modulus in the cross direction of about 150,000 psi or less.

- the tensile modulus of the films of the present invention in the cross direction is less than the tensile modulus of the films in the machine direction. Labels prepared from such films are observed to exhibit improved conformability.
- the tensile modulus of the films of the present invention in the machine direction may be as high as 200,000 psi or even as high as 250,000 psi, and the tensile modulus in the cross direction is 150,000 psi or less.

No. 4,713,273, the disclosure which is incorporated herein by reference, or may be a conventional liner or carrier consisting of a single paper of film layer which may be supplied in roll form. If it has not been previously provided with a release coating and does not itself include components to inherently generate a release surface at its adhesive-contacting face, the liner or carrier may be coated with a release coating (e.g., a silicone). If a release coating is applied, it is dried or cured following application by any suitable means.
- a release coating e.g., a silicone
- the release face of the release liner or carrier may be coated with a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive for subsequent transfer of the adhesive to the labelstock with which the liner or carrier is employed.
- the adhesive is joined to the biaxially oriented film. Later, the liner or carrier is removed to expose the adhesive, and the adhesive remains permanently joined to the biaxially oriented film.
- the adhesive layer may be a heat-activated adhesive or a hot-melt adhesive such as used in in-mold label applications, as distinguished from a pressure-sensitive adhesive. If the adhesive is a heat-activated adhesive or a hot-melt adhesive, there may be no need for the provision of a release liner for inherent releasability such as is required when using a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
- the manufacture of pressure-sensitive adhesive labelstock from the above-described biaxially oriented films in accordance with the invention is illustrated as follows.
- the liner or carrier stock may comprise a multilayer liner or a conventional liner or carrier consisting of a single paper or film layer having a release coating which may be supplied in roll form.
- the release face of the release liner or carrier may be coated with a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive for subsequent transfer of the adhesive to the oriented film with which the liner or carrier is employed.
- the adhesive is joined to the film. Later, the liner or carrier is removed to expose the adhesive, which now remains permanently joined to the biaxially oriented film.
- the biaxially oriented film may be printed prior to being die-cut into individual labels.
- the printing step may occur before or after the combining of liner and oriented film, but will precede the die-cutting of the labelstock into individual labels.
- the film must remain in accurate register between printing steps (for example, between successive impressions in different colors) in order that image or text be of high quality, and between printing and subsequent die-cutting in order that image or text be located properly on the labels.
- the film is under tension during printing, and may be subjected to some increase in temperature, as for example when UV inks are cured, and the film must maintain dimensional stability in the machine-direction.
- the biaxially stretch-oriented films of this invention are die-cuttable, and the labelstock on a liner may be die-cut into a series of spaced pressure-sensitive labels carried by the release liner or carrier.
- This step may be performed by cutting dies (e.g., rotary cutting dies) in a well-known manner and involves the subsequent stripping of the ladder-shaped matrix of waste or trim surrounding the formed labels when they are die-cut (the “rungs” of the ladder representing the spacing between successive labels).
- the labels then remain on the liner in spaced relation with each other.
- One failure mode in this operation involves poorly die-cut labels remaining with the matrix as it is stripped.
- the die-cut labels on the liner or carrier can be dispensed and applied to various substrates by techniques known to those skilled in the art.
- the labels can be dispensed and applied to passing workpieces by use of a peel-back edge to dispense the labels by progressively removing the liner or carrier from them to thereby expose the adhesive side of the labels and project the labels into contact with passing workpieces.
- the workpieces may constitute substrates such as glass bottles or other rigid articles tending to have irregularities in the surface and therefore requiring labels that are flexible and that closely adhere (conform) to the surface without bridging local surface depressions.
- the substrates also may be flexible plastic containers.
