A BIAXIALLY ORIENTED FIRST LAYER COMPRISING A FIRST ETHYLENE POLYMER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ETHYLENE HOMOPOLYMER HAVING A DENSITY NOT GREATER THAN ABOUT 0.93, AND ETHYLENE COPOLYMER, SAID FIRST ETHYLENE POLYMER HAVING A MELT INDEX OF LESS THAN ABOUT 2.3; AND B. A BIAXIALLY ORIENTED SECOND LAYER COMPRISING A BLEND OF AN IONOMER AND A SECOND ETHYLENE POLYMER, SAID SECOND ETHYLENE POLYMER BEING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ETHYLENE HOMOPOLYMER HAVING A DENSITY NOT GREATER THAN ABOUT 0.93, AND ETHYLENE COPOLYMER; WHEREIN EACH LAYER CONSTITUTES AS LEAST ABOUT 20 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL THICKNESS OF SAID FILM. |
