The polyolefin stretch film comprises a film produced from a resin
composition principally composed of a polyolefin resin consisting either
entirely of ethylene (meth)acrylic acid copolymer or ethylene
(meth)acrylic acid (meth)acrylic ester terpolymer, or a mixed resin of
both, and being, insofar as necessary, compounded with an anti-fogging
agent and a tackifier, such film having a stress at 100% elongation in the
longitudinal direction of 12-30 MPa and a stress at 100% elongation in the
transverse direction of 5-11 MPa. This film is suitably used as a stretch
wrap film material for packaging food and various items, inasmuch as it is
free of pollution and sanitary/health hazard problems, and imparts a large
elongation, excellent cut property of traverse direction,
adherence/conformance property (cling property), elastic recovery after
distention by fingertips, etc., adequate stress at 100% elongation and,
moreover, a good balance between the stresses at elongation in the
longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction, respectively,
which properties all in all enable the film to accomplish wrapping
virtually free of surface wrinkle formation and film breakage in a
continuous stretch wrapping operation, thus rendering the film fully
compatible with the automatic wrapping machine. Furthermore, since it can
be formed at a high speed by the extrusion film forming technique
employing a straight manifold die, the film has a merit of high
productivity.
