A polymer blend and mono-and multilayer films made therefrom suitable for
processing or packaging articles which have an improved combination of
properties e.g. such as lower tear strength and higher puncture
resistance, or higher puncture resistance at both room temperature in air
and at elevated temperatures in contact with water wherein the blend
preferably has a first copolymer of ethylene and hexene-1 having a
copolymer melting point of 80 to 98.degree. C., preferably of 80 to
92.degree. C.; a second copolymer of ethylene and at least one
.alpha.-olefin having a copolymer melting point of 115 to 128.degree. C.;
and a third copolymer of ethylene and a vinyl ester or alkyl acrylate and
having a melting point of 60 to 110.degree. C., and a process for making
such films, especially shrink films having at least 40% shrink at
90.degree. C. in at least one direction.
