Abstract
A new polymer, MXD-6, has been made from meta-xylylene diamine and adipic acid. Biaxially oriented film produced from this polymer has been evaluated for several packaging uses; it has excellent thermal properties and provides a good barrier to gases and moisture. Together with its high clarity and good processability, these properties make MXD-6 nylon film suitable as a base substrate of laminated film structures for use in lidding and pouches—especially when the film is exposed to retort conditions.
