<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide, in general, an article and method for scavenging by-products of an oxygen scavenging reaction. <P>SOLUTION: The article includes an oxygen scavenger, and a polymer selected from the group consisting of a polymer derived from a propylene monomer, a polymer derived from a methyl acrylate monomer, a polymer derived from a butyl acrylate monomer, a polymer derived from a methacrylic acid monomer, polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), amorphous nylon, ionomer, and a polyterpene-containing polymer mixture. The article can be in the form of e.g. a film, a polymeric functional barrier coating on an oxygen scavenging lacquer, or a gasket. A package can be made from this article for containing an oxygen-sensitive article such as food. The polymers reduce or block the migration of odor-causing by-products of an oxygen scavenging process. A method of making the article having reduced migration of by-products of the oxygen scavenging reaction includes providing an article including an oxygen scavenger and the polymer, and exposing the article to actinic radiation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
