Abstract

Abstract A resinous composition which comprises (A) 95 to 50 parts by weight of a saponified product of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and (B) 5 to 50 parts by weight of a product formed by modifying an ethylene-vinyl carboxylate ester copolymer or an ethylene-acrylate ester copolymer with an a,p-unsaturated carboxylic acid or anhydride thereof. This resinous composition can be made by melt extrusion to form a molded article which is superior in impact resistance as compared to that formed from the component (A) alone. The resinous composition can also be applied in an inner layer or interlayer of a laminated container. This container is suitable for making bottles for food and agricultural chemicals because of its outstanding impact resistance, organic solvent resistance, and oxygen barrier properties.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim 80 words
A resinous composition which comprises (A) 95 to 50 parts by an weight of a saponified product of/ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing 20 to 60 mol% of ethylene and having a degree of saponification greater than 95 % and (B) 5 to 50 parts by weight of a modified ethylene-vinyl carboxylate ester copolymer or a modified ethylene-acrylate a ester copolymer comprising ethylene,/vinyl carboxylate ester or an acrylate ester, and an C 3 -C 10 α, ß-unsaturated carboxylic acid or acid anhydride.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 90 words
A resinous composition as claimed in Claim 1, wherein said modified ethylene-vinyl carboxylate ester copolymer or modified ethylene-acrylate ester copolymer contains 60 to 95 mol % of ethylene and an X mol % of an α, B-unsaturated carboxylic acid or acid anhydride and has a melt index of Y g/10 min (190°C, 2160 g), where X and Y are those values that satisfy the following equations [I] and [II]. where Z is the melt index (Z g/10 min (190°C, 2160 g)) of the saponified produce of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.
