  • Patent number: 11590741
    Abstract: A multilayer thermoplastic article blended with hydrolytically unstable polymers and a material component for improved recyclability. The multilayer thermoplastic article having an inner layer being made of a thermoplastic material, an outer layer being made of a thermoplastic material, and an intermediate layer disposed between the inner layer and the outer layer. The intermediate layer is made of a blended material comprising 50 to 99 wt. % of a hydrolytically unstable polymer and 1 to 50 wt. % of the material component selected from the group consisting of an oxygen scavenger, an oxidizable organic polymer, a passive barrier material, Iron, Ascorbic Acid, and potassium sulfite.
