SAPONIFIED, ALKOXYL GROUP-CONTAINING ETHYLENE-VINYL ACETATE COPOLYMER, AND ITS PROCESSED PRODUCTS

摘要

Provided is a saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having the advantages of good melt extrusion stability, drawdown resistance, interlayer adhesiveness and gas barrier properties, and its processed products have good surface smoothness. The saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer contains from 0.1 to 3000 ppm of a compound having a molecular weight of at most 1000 and having at least one conjugated double bond, and has an alkoxyl group content of from 0.0005 to 1 mol%, an ethylene content of from 5 to 60 mol%, and a degree of saponification of at least 85 mol%.
