A moisture barrier material including a carrier, an adhesive layer formed on at least one surface of the carrier, and a release treated liner, wherein the moisture barrier material has a nonplanar shape, and a method for manufacturing the same.

Provided are an oxygen barrier film, a food wrapper including the same, and a method of preparing the oxygen barrier film. The oxygen barrier film may include: a base layer; and an organic/inorganic hybrid layer located on the base layer and including a natural hydrogel and a silane coupling agent.

In the present disclosure, there are provided a vinyl alcohol-based copolymer including a first repeating unit derived from an olefin, a second repeating unit containing a hydroxyl group, and a third repeating unit containing a cyanoalkyloxy group formed by a reaction of the repeating unit containing a hydroxyl group and an unsaturated nitrile-based compound, wherein the third repeating unit is included in an amount of 2 mol % or more and less than 10 mol % with respect to 100 mol % of a total amount of the second repeating unit and the third repeating unit; a method for preparing the same; and a gas barrier film including the same. The vinyl alcohol-based copolymer has excellent moisture stability, thereby exhibiting excellent gas barrier properties even in a humid environment.

Described are rigid and semi-rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) films, layers, or sheets, and methods of forming the same. The PVC products includes polyvinyl chloride resin and at least one 2D filler incorporated at the micro- or nano-scale. The film can have a low water permeance, for example, lower than that of a traditional PVC film. The water permeance of the PVC film described in this invention is significantly lower than that of a PVC film specifically developed for pipe jacketing applications. Standard pipe jacketing applications use either PVC or metal jacketing in their systems. The invention described herein produces a finished PVC product with a low water permeance similar to that of the metal jacketing products specifically developed for pipe jacketing applications.
