Patent ID: 6946193

Claim:
A biaxially oriented multilayer film usable to form adhesive labels to be attached to containers, such as bottles and cans, said film including a core layer comprising polypropylene and a migratory slip agent in the form of a migratory amide and an outer slip layer on one side of the core layer, said slip layer including primarily polypropylene, by weight, and a minor percent, by weight, of an antistatic agent, said antistatic agent being present in a sufficient amount to preclude the migratory amide in the core layer from migrating to the surface of the skin layer in an amount that reduces the adhesion of the adhesive employed on the formed label for the slip layer to less than 50%, said antistatic agent and said amide being present in amounts to provide a COF on the surface of the slip layer of no greater than 0.45 and to provide an adhesion of the adhesive employed on the formed label for the slip layer of at least 50%.
