Abstract: The present invention concerns a multilayered polymer film structure, which comprises at least one first layer (1) containing a thermoplastic polymer and at least one second layer (2), arranged adjacent to said first layer, containing a liquid crystalline polymer. According to the invention, the second layer (2) consists essentially of a compounded polymer blend formed by the liquid crystalline polymer and a thermoplastic polymer, the liquid crystalline polymer of the second layer forms a continuous phase, and the first and the second layers (1, 2) contain the same thermoplastic polymer. The oxygen transmission rate of the second layer is less than about 150 cm3/(m2·d·bar), determined according to the standard ASTM D 3985-81, and the water vapour transmission rate of the integral film structure is less than 10 g/(m2·24·h) at RH 80% 23° C., determined according to ASTM F 1249-90. The present structure can be used as a barrier layer in packages.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayer product for the production of packaging, the product comprising a carrier web (1), on one face of which there is disposed a tight multilayer coating (2) which includes a moisture-proof layer (b) and a gas-tight layer (a). The gas-tight layer is made up of a blend of an ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer and a polar ethylene polymer. The moisture-proof layer is polyolefin, preferably a blend of polyethylene and a polar ethylene polymer.
