- 4. The film according to claim 1, characterized in that the polyester has a molecular weight of from 1000 to 3000 g/mol.
- 5. The film according to claim 2, wherein the weight average molecular weights M.sub.w of the polyamide is in the range of from 30,000 to 800,000.
- 6. The film according to claim 1, wherein said films is 100 .mu.m in thickness.
- 7. The film according to claim 2, wherein said films is 100 .mu.m in thickness.
- 8. The film according to claim 6, wherein said film has a tension-E modulus of from 982-1087 N/mm.sup.2, a tear resistance of from 315-431 N/mm.sup.2 and an elongation at break of from 48-58%.
- 9. The film according to claim 7, wherein said film has a tension-E modulus of from 982-1087 N/mm.sup.2, a tear resistance of from 315-431 N/mm.sup.2 and an elongation at break of from 48-58%.
- 10. The film according to claim 1, wherein said polyester is an aliphatic polycarbonate.
- 11. The film according to claim 1, wherein said polyester is an aliphatic polycarbonate produced from diols having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms.
- 12. Biologically degradable thin walled injection moulded products for food packaging consisting essentially of a) an aliphatic polyamide comprising polycaprolactam, a polyamide based on aliphatic dicarboxylic acids and aliphatic diamines Wherein each of said aliphatic dicarboxylic acids and aliphatic diamines has 4 to 6 carbon atoms, or copolymers of these two; and b) a linear or slightly branched oligomeric, aliphatic polyester based on aliphatic diols and dicarboxylic acids each having up to 10 carbon atom, said polyester having a molecular weight of from 800 to 4000 g/mol.
- 13. Injection moulded products according to claim 12, characterized in that the polyamide used is based on .epsilon.-amino caproic acid or caprolactam or on adipic acid and 1,6-hexamethylene diamine or on copolymers of these two, optionally with the addition of small quantities of other (cyclo)-aliphatic diamines and the weight average molecular weight M.sub.w of the polyamide is in the range of from 12,000 to 1,000,000.
- 14. Injection moulded products according to claim 12, characterized in that the polyester consists of aliphatic diols and dicarboxylic acids each having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms.
- 15. Injection moulded products according to claim 12, characterized in that the polyester has a molecular weight of from 1000 to 3000 g/mol.
- 16. A biologically degradable film for food packaging consisting essentially of a) aliphatic polyamides comprising polycaprolactam, polyamides based on aliphatic dicarboxylic acids and aliphatic diamines wherein each of said aliphatic dicarboxylic acids and aliphatic diamines has 4 to 6 carbon atoms, or copolymers of these two; and b) linear or slightly branched oligomeric, aliphatic polyesters with molecular weights of from 800 to 4000 g/mol, said polyesters being present in said film in a quantity of from 5 to 25% by weight.
