Easy tear multilayer film of biaxially oriented PA6/MXD6 by double bubble tubular film process
In the market, a film which is adapted to environmental and barrier problems and easy tear property is desired. A previous report discussed easy tear PA6 film. This report discusses the film having not only easy tear, but also high barrier properties. A biaxially oriented PA6/MXD6 blend film produced by double bubble tubular film process does possess gas barrier So a multilayer film having high gas barrier layer and keeping easy tear cut has been studied. High gas barrier layer of high content MXD 6 in the center layer is added to PA6/MXD6 blend film in the outer layers. When MXD6 blending ratio of PA6/MXD6 blending film layer is 30%, the property of easy straight line cut is obtained. It is found that the plate-like cylinder structure was formed in the observation of TEM for PA6/MXD6 blend film. The multilayer biaxially oriented film composed of PA6/MXD6 blend layer and MXD6 high content layer keeps high strength, easy tear property and high gas barrier Namely, the material and production technology of a PA6 film could solve environmental and barrier problems.
