MULTILAYER PLASTIC CONTAINER AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

The multilayer plastic container (10) comprises a neck portion (16), a body portion (20), adjacent the neck portion (16), forming a cylindrical wall (21), and a bottom portion (22) adjacent the body portion (20) and opposite the neck portion (16). The cylindrical wall (21) comprises a first layer (24) of PET, a layer (26) of EVOH adjacent the first layer (24) of PET and a second layer (28) of PET adjacent the layer (26) of EVOH. The EVOH has an average thickness which is greater near the neck portion (16) of the container than near the bottom portion (22) of the container (10).
