Multilayer shrink films and method of making the same that are substantially free of silicone. The multilayer films of the invention are produced using film biaxial orienting means, have haze values of 5 or less and Young's Modulus of 40,000 psi or greater, and superior hot slip properties. Cycloolefin copolymer (COC)'*** used in the outermost layers (3) to impart superior hot slip. Preferably, the film comprises a large portion of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) or ethylene propylene butane terpolymer. Suitable COCs for use in the invention are limited to a single site (e.g. metallocene) catalyzed COC. |
