An injection stretch blow-molded (ISBM) container prepared by way of injection molding a tubular preform followed by reheating and concurrently stretching and blow-molding the heated preform into the container. The container and preform comprise from 70 wt. % to 97.5 wt. % of a semi-crystalline polyolefin composition comprising one or polymers selected from polyethylene polymers and polypropylene polymers and from 2.5 wt. % to 30 wt. % of an alicyclic polyolefin composition, wherein the alicyclic polyolefin composition has a glass transition temperature, Tg, of from 80° to 145° C.

A container body comprises a base, a side wall extending from the base and a neck portion arranged to engage a closure for the container body, wherein: (i) said container body includes a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) and polyester; or (ii) said container body includes a polymethylpentene (PMP) and polyester; wherein, in both cases (i) and (ii), the side wall of the container body has an L* of at least 90 and the neck portion has an L* of at least 84.

A degradable EVOH high-barrier composite film, characterized in that the materials of various layers in the composite film all obtain approximately-consistent biodegradability by introducing biomass, and the additive amount of the additive master batch in the materials of each layer is controlled within the range of 0.3-15% of the total mass of the materials of the corresponding layer; the hydrophilic activity of the hydrophilic groups in the additive master batch should be greater than or equal to that of the hydrophilic groups in the materials of each layer; by adding the additive master batch, the mole ratios of the hydrophilic groups to carbon atoms of the materials of various layers tend to be consistent, namely, the bioactivities tend to be consistent, so that the degradation rates of the materials of various layers in the composite film tend to be consistent. The present invention makes contribution to obtaining approximately-consistent bioactivities and approximately-consistent biodegradation rates by balancing the mole ratios of the hydrophilic groups to carbon atoms in the materials of various layers, and the appearance, the functions and the physical and mechanical properties of a product remain unchanged.

A preform is made by mixing cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) and light shielding pigment(s) with PET. The preform is stretch-blow moulded to produce a bottle which may be white and opaque. Light may be restricted from entering the bottle to thereby restrict degradation of the bottle contents from certain wavelengths of visible light.

A thermoplastic elastomer composition contains component (A-2), component (B), and component (C). The content of component (A-2) is 5 parts by weight or more and 95 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the total amounts of components (A-2) and (B), and the content of component (C) is 0.005% by weight or more and 3% by weight or less with respect to 100% by weight of the whole amount of the thermoplastic elastomer composition. Component (A-2) is a crosslinked product of component (A-1), which is an ethylene copolymer containing a monomer unit derived from propylene and/or α-olefins having 4 to 10 carbon atoms, and a monomer unit derived from ethylene, and having a Mooney viscosity (ML.sub.1+4, 125° C.) of 50 or more. Component (B) is a propylene polymer and component (C) is an antifungal agent.
