The multilayer paperboard pouch comprises an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein one of the surfaces is defined as a food contact surface. In the depicted embodiment, the properties of the polymer layer are chosen to provide adequate mechanical and barrier protection to the paper-based pouch formed on the conventional pouch-forming equipment. A method of manufacturing a multilayer paperboard pouch using conventional bag-making equipment (“CBME”) running at normal production speed for making standard plastic pouches is also provided. First, a paper is extrusion-coated and then the CBME is configured with a feeder for feeding an extrusion-coated paper intermittently for a length along a feeding path; a cutter disposed at a position predetermined for cutting one of the layers of the coated paper and forming a first side gusset, a second side gusset and a bottom gusset portions and for folding each of a first side gusset, a second side gusset and a bottom gusset portions into halves along a center line extending longitudinally thereof; and a sealer for sealing the layers of the polymer with the layers of the bottom gusset portion and the layers of the first and second gusset portions, respectively to form the finished multilayer paperboard pouch ready for sale and distribution to various retailers. It is to be noted that in the depicted embodiment various closure constructions and mechanism can be used for heat sealing the finished pouches.

The transparent thermoformed high barrier plastic bottle includes first and second outer layers formed using a transparent polyester or polyester copolymer; an inner nanolayer sequence including a plurality of nanolayers a) including ethylene vinyl alcohol, alternating with nanolayers b) including at least one of ethylene ethyl acrylate, low density polyethylene and linear low density polyethylene, each of the nanolayers b) having a degree of crystallinity less than about 45%; and adhesive layers between each of the two outer layers and the inner nanolayer sequence. A method for producing a transparent thermoformed high barrier plastic bottle is also provided.

The invention relates to the use of special polymer layers as barriers, in particular as barrier layers in composite materials. Suitable polymers for the polymer layer are copolymers consisting of ethylene and vinyl alcohol or consisting of ethylene and carbon monoxide or consisting of ethylene and carbon monoxide and propylene. These barrier layers exhibit a selective barrier effect with respect to different gases, the barrier effect being especially effective with respect to HFOs. On account of these properties, such barrier layers can positively affect insulating properties, for example in thermally insulated pipes.
