Peelable seals using polybutylene

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6021138
A new composition for producing a peelable heat seal between substrates is described comprising a blend of about 6 to about 25 weight percent of polybutylene having a melt index of about 0.1 to about 500, about 2 to about 15 weight percent of polypropylene, and about 60 to about 92 weight percent of a blend of anhydride modified polyethylene with EVA copolymers. The blend, when coated onto nylon at a heat sealing temperature of between about 320/sup 0/F and about 410/sup 0/F as determined at the sealing jaws, affords a peel strength of about 0.4 to about 5 pounds per inch between blend layers heat sealed at the heat sealing temperatures.
