BLENDS OF AND METHODS OF BLENDING EVOH POLYMERS AND ETHYLENE BASED POLYMERS HAVING IMPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS CRACKING OR ENVIRONMENTAL FATIGUE RESISTANCE, AND PRODUCTS THEREFROM

摘要

A blend composition having improved environmental stress cracking resistance or environmental fatigue resistance, including an ethylene vinyl alcohol polymer and a polymer of ethylene with at least one selected from the group consisting of alpha olefin having at least 2 carbon atoms, and an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic ester monomer. Flexible products may be made from the blend by heating the blend above its melting point, forming the melted blend into a desired shape, and then cooling the shape below its melting point.
