A multi-layer heat shrinkable film not confined to but including at least three layers, one outside layer being of a blend of EVA and VLDPE, the other outside layer being VLDPE or a blend of VLDPE and EVA and an internal layer being EVA or primarily EVA. Such a multi-layer heat shrink film has good resistance of abuse. The film may include the optional barrier film and optionally two of the two contiguous co-extruded layers can be irradiated prior to the third or further layers. Such a precursor is then stretched into the film thickness required. The invention covers the method of treatment of such a film and a container or package including such a film.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed November 16, 1989 and granted November 2, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 16, 2009.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 16, 2011.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
