Processes for producing mono- and biaxially drawn polyketone films from linear polymers of carbon monoxide, ethylene, and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon having a melting point of at least 214 DEG C., comprising drawing of a linear polymer sheet along one or two axes, respectively, at a draw temperature of from about 4 DEG to 15 DEG C. below the melting point of the terpolymer, and a draw ratio of between 4 to 20. Also disclosed are the products which have and exhibit good properties of strength and stiffness, even at low draw ratios, produced by these processes. |
