BARRIER LAMINATE CONTAINING PARTIALLY AROMATIC NYLON MATERIALS, BLANK CONSTRUCTED FROM THE BARRIER LAMINATE, AND CONTAINER CONSTRUCTED FROM THE BARRIER LAMINATE

摘要

Laminate structures provide an oxygen barrier for use in packaging of liquid and non-liquid (dry) products preferably, fruits, citrus juices, teas, other beverages, and the like. The laminate structures contain at least one oxygen barrier layer of a partially aromatic nylon. Particularly useful partially aromatic nylons are those utilizing MXD6/MXDI chemistry. The partially aromatic nylon layer provides an oxygen barrier comparable to ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) when used at high relative humidities. The partially aromatic nylon layer simplifies laminate structure and saves materials costs.
