[Object] To provide a barrier laminate that includes a multilayer substrate with high interlayer adhesiveness to an evaporated film and that has high gas barrier properties.

[Solution] A barrier laminate according to the present invention includes a multilayer substrate, an evaporated film, and a sealant layer, wherein the multilayer substrate includes at least a polypropylene resin layer and a surface coating layer, the polypropylene resin layer is subjected to a stretching process, the surface coating layer contains a resin material with a polar group, and the evaporated film is composed of an inorganic oxide.

The present invention relates to an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) resin composition, an EVOH film formed therefrom, and a multilayer structure containing the same. The surface roughness of the EVOH resin composition is a kurtosis (Sku) ranging from 0.05 to 100. The EVOH of the invention can reduce the torque output during processing, and can obtain the EVOH film with excellent appearance.

A transparent thermoformed high barrier plastic bottle is provided for use in storing food and beverages, personal care products, health care products, and other applications that require excellent transparency and barrier properties. 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.
