US Patent 7265183 High clarity, low friction polyethylene compositions for films

A melt-blended polyethylene/COP composition suitable for making optically clear films with low coefficients of friction includes from about 70 to about 98 weight percent of a polyethylene resin and from about 2 to about 25 weight percent of a first COP resin component, the first COP resin component having a weight average molecular weight of from about 0.5 kg/mol to about 50 kg/mol and being present in an amount effective to increase the relative slip value of films made from the composition as compared with a like film made from the polyethylene resin alone.
