An inflatable cushioning article is made from a multilayer film having a seal
layer, a gas barrier layer, and a tie layer adhering the seal layer to the gas
barrier layer. The cushioning article has a plurality of inflatable chambers, with
each of the chambers having a plurality of cells connected in series to one another
via inflation channels. Although the inflatable article can be made from relatively
thin films, the article exhibits a relatively high burst pressure and can be inflated
to, for example 3 psi, and withstand conditions such as 140 F. and high altitude,
without film delamination, seal failure, or film rupture. Preferably, the tie layer
comprises an anhydride modified polyolefin having an anhydride content of at least
150 ppm.
