W O 90/12062 PCT/F190/00l06 1 Gas-sealed ma~erial The present invention concerns a gas-s2aled material and products containing gas-sealed material. In particular, th~ in~ention concerns a gas-sealed material con~aining polyolefin, polyvinyl alcohol, and polyamide, and products con~aining the sa~e.
1~ Polyolefins are widely used, for instance, in packaging indus~ry in ~anufacturing vario~s fil~ products. Ad~antages of polyolefins are in particular appropriate strength and water resistance properties.
Among the drawbacks may be mentioned permeabili~y to cer~ain gases and liquids, concerning particularly oxygen and hydrocarbon dissolven~s.
Therefore, ~he usability of polyolefin films is limited to packaging certain substances, such as foodstuffs, in which minor oxygen perme-2bility is required.
It is customary to use in packaging indus~ry multiple layer i`ilm ~0 struc~ures in which materials of dif~erent layers are selected for a given purpose. Therefore, such multiple layer structures may contain layers whicn form a good barrier against gases, such as oxygen, and layers whioh provide o~her properCies for the product, such as strength properties. In addition, mul~iple layer structures may contain other layers which generate, for instance, adhesion be~ween different layers. Products of this kind are, however, expensive to manufacture. -.
~ Polyvinyl alcohol is one of such polymers which has a low oxygen permeability property. Said property has most often been utilized inolefin-vinyl alcohol random-mixed polymers and in olefin-vinyl alcohol segment-mixed polymers. It is also known in the art to manufacture prodllcts containing polyolefin and polyvinyl alcohol in ~he form of mixtures, which have a low oxygen permeability and which ~herei'ore are exceedingly appropriate for manufacturing e.g. packaging films.
In the Finnish patent application No. 87-5772 is disclosed a mixture of polyolefln and polyvinyl alcohol, moreover containing optionally ` . ~ '. ' ., ': , ' ' ' '; ' ' ~
1 plaseici~ers WhPn polyolefin and polyvinyl alcuhol are mixed in molten state, a mixture is ob~ained which is composed of ~wo phases, a coneinuous phase and a dispersed phase. ~hen the diameter of the par~icles in the dispersed phase is small enough, totally transparent films are obtained. The mixing is usually carried out in a separate compounding phase prior to the extrusion of the end product.
When the PVA in the mixture of polyolefin and PVA establishes a continuous phase, a good sealing is provided in the product, for . 10 instance oxygen sealingj.and the product is bright and stable, in spite of two phases, both in molten and in solid state, and it is easy to soften by adding plasticizers.
In the EP patent publicizing print No. 280455-A discloss oxygen-sealed materials containing polyethylene, a polyolei'in containing carboxyl groups, and a third polymer which is incompatible with the polyethylene. Said third polymer may be, as stated in the publication, a polyamide (PA), ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyvinyl alco-hol (P~A), palyester, or a mixture thereof, although no examples of mixtures, for instance mixtures of polyamide and polyvinyl alcohol, are pres2nted. A mixture of polyethylene and PVA is not useful because of its brittleness, neither is the mixture of polyethylene and polyamide useful because of its barrier properties. If, instead, polyethylene is mixed with PVA and polyamide, the product is both sealed and viscous.
Although polyolefin-PVA-PA mixtures are generally speaking provided with good oxygen sealing properties in dry circumstances, in moist circumsta~ces their oxygen sealing property reduGes significan~ly, so that they are sensitive to moisture. In addition, when mixtures oi polyolefins, PVA, and polyamide are mixed in molten state, partial dissolution of PVA and colouring of the product take place. When plasticizers are used, their stability in the mixture is no~ as good as possible because of whlch migration oi plasticizers cake pl.ace in the product. One more drawback in con~entional PE/PVA/PA mixtures is that the melt index oiJ the product is not low enough.

W O 90/12062 2 0 3 212 ~ PCT/FIg0/00106 1 The object of the present invention is a material containin~
polyolefin, polyvinyl alcohol, and polyamide, in which the moisture sensitivity of the product regarding oxygen sealing is reduced, the lightness of the product has increased, and the need for plasticizers has been eliminated, and, in addition, the strength properties of the films manufactured from the product, such as viscosity, tensile strength, impact tensile strength, and resistance to rupture, have improved.
lC As taught by the invention, it h s been surprisingly found that when certain internally plasticized polyvinyl alcohol copolymers and polyamide are mixed in moltRn state with polyolefins, such products are obtained which have a lighter colour and the oxy~en sealing gained in which is considerably less sensitive to mois~ure than in using con~entional polyvinyl alcohol, and in addition, the strength properties of the films manufactured from the product are be~ter than in using ordinary polyvinyl alcohol and polyamide.
Therefore, the invention conc.erns a gas-sealed material containing polyolefin, polyvinyl alcohol, and polyamide. The gas~sealed material of the invention is characterized in that said material is produced by mixing in molten state 3 to 60 per cent by weight of polyolefin, 10 to 96 per cent by weight of internally plasticized vinyl alcohol polymer, and 1 to 50 per cent by weight of polyamide.
The term 'internally plasticized vinyl alcohol polymer' refers to a vinyl alcohol polymer which contains poly~lycol groups (polyzther groups) or other groups plasticizing polyvinyl alcohol in the side c~ains thereof. Said plasticizer groups are connected into a chain by copolymerizin~, grafting or by means of reactive compounding. One such internally plastizied polyvinyl alcohol is Vinex polymer (trade name, Air Products and Chemicals Inc.), in which for comonomer is used an ester of Me~hacrylic acid and of polyethylene glycol.

The vinyl alcohol polymer used in the polyolefin/polyvinyL alcohol/
polyamide mixture of the inven~ion is advaneageously such in which in the poly(alkyleneoxy)ester derivative for use as a comonomer the alkylene of the alcohol component is an ethylene or propylene, and the acid component is an acrylic acid or methacrylic acid. Said modified vinyl alcohol polyrners may be manufaceured, for instance, by poly-merizin~, vinyl acetate monomer and poly(alkyleneoxy)acrylate co-monomer, and hydrolyzin~ the copolymer thus obtained in order to produce an internally plasticized vinyl alcohol polymer.
The quanticy of the internally plasticized vinyl alcohol polymer in the polyethylene-polyvinyl alcohol-polyamide mixture of the invention may be in the range from lO to 96 per cent by weighr, preferably in ~0 t-h~ range of from 30 to 60 per cent by weight. In some instances, it may be preferable to substitute part of the internally plasticized vinyl alcohol polymer used in the gas-sealed material for unmodified polyvinyl alcohol if the purpose of the product allows.
The polyolefin in a gas-sealed material of the invention may be based on homopolymers or copolyrners of the olefins. Therefore, it may be low density polyethylene (LDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE) or high density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene, or poly-butene. The polyolefin may also be a copolymes of ethylene together with other olefins, such as propylene, butene, hexene and octene.
The polyolefin may also be an olefin-ester copolymer, such as ethylene-vînyl acecate copolyrner, ethylene-acrylate-ester copol~ner, or ethylene-methacrylate ester copol~ner, or ie may be a ehermoplastic olefin-based elastomer, such as EP or EPD rubber.

W O 90/12062 2032~ 2~ PCT/F190/00106 l has been modified with the aid of carboxylic acid. To such a modified olefin polymer is copolymerized or grafted 0.1 to 10 per cent by weight of carboxylic acid. The carboxylic acid may comprise any unsaturated carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid anhydride which can be grafted or copolymerized in polyolefin. Examples of such acids are, for instance, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid fumaric acid, itaconic acid, cro~onic acid, sorbic acid, and anhydrides of the afore-mentioned acids. In grafting or in copolymerizing one or several above acids may be used. The polyolefin grafted or copolymer-lC ized with carboxylic acid ~ay also be a mixture containing a poly-olefin modified in the manner described above, and un unmodified polyolefin.
The quantity of the polyolefin in the gas-sealed material of the invention may be in the range from 1 to 99 per cent by weight, but preferably in the range from 30 to 60 per cent by weight of the quantity of the entire mixture.
A third component in a gas-sealed material of the invention is poly-~0 amide. For the polyamide, for instance the following polyamides may be used: polyamide 6, polyamide 8, polyamide 10, polyamide 11, polv-amide 12, polyamide 6.6, polyaMide 6.10, and polyamide 12-elastomers, or mixtures thereof. The quantity of polymer in the material of the invention may be selected from the range 1 to 50 per cent by weigh~
The polyamide enhances the viscosity and deep-drawing properties of the mixture of polyolefin and the poly~inyl alcohol copolymer.
The gas-sealed polyolefin/PVA/PA mixture of the invention can be 3~ manufactured mixing the polyolefin component modified with thz acid, the vinyl alcohol/copolymer component, and the polyamide component in a melt mixer simultaneously as a dry mixture, premixed in solid or Ln molten staee, or then various componenc5 are added separately.
3~ From the polyolefin/PVA/PA mixture of the invention various products may be prepared by combining the mixture with polyolefins, other plastics or othsr ma~erials, such as fibre-based materials. Multiple . . , . ~. - :

The vinyl alcohol polymer used in the polyolefin/polyvinyL alcohol/
polyamide mixture of the inven~ion is advaneageously such in which in the poly(alkyleneoxy)ester derivative for use as a comonomer the alkylene of the alcohol component is an ethylene or propylene, and the acid component is an acrylic acid or methacrylic acid. Said modified vinyl alcohol polyrners may be manufaceured, for instance, by poly-merizin~, vinyl acetate monomer and poly(alkyleneoxy)acrylate co-monomer, and hydrolyzin~ the copolymer thus obtained in order to produce an internally plasticized vinyl alcohol polymer.
The quanticy of the internally plasticized vinyl alcohol polymer in the polyethylene-polyvinyl alcohol-polyamide mixture of the invention may be in the range from lO to 96 per cent by weighr, preferably in ~0 t-h~ range of from 30 to 60 per cent by weight. In some instances, it may be preferable to substitute part of the internally plasticized vinyl alcohol polymer used in the gas-sealed material for unmodified polyvinyl alcohol if the purpose of the product allows.
The polyolefin in a gas-sealed material of the invention may be based on homopolymers or copolyrners of the olefins. Therefore, it may be low density polyethylene (LDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE) or high density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene, or poly-butene. The polyolefin may also be a copolymes of ethylene together with other olefins, such as propylene, butene, hexene and octene.
The polyolefin may also be an olefin-ester copolymer, such as ethylene-vînyl acecate copolyrner, ethylene-acrylate-ester copol~ner, or ethylene-methacrylate ester copol~ner, or ie may be a ehermoplastic olefin-based elastomer, such as EP or EPD rubber.

W O 90/12062 2032~ 2~ PCT/F190/00106 l has been modified with the aid of carboxylic acid. To such a modified olefin polymer is copolymerized or grafted 0.1 to 10 per cent by weight of carboxylic acid. The carboxylic acid may comprise any unsaturated carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid anhydride which can be grafted or copolymerized in polyolefin. Examples of such acids are, for instance, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid fumaric acid, itaconic acid, cro~onic acid, sorbic acid, and anhydrides of the afore-mentioned acids. In grafting or in copolymerizing one or several above acids may be used. The polyolefin grafted or copolymer-lC ized with carboxylic acid ~ay also be a mixture containing a poly-olefin modified in the manner described above, and un unmodified polyolefin.
The quantity of the polyolefin in the gas-sealed material of the invention may be in the range from 1 to 99 per cent by weight, but preferably in the range from 30 to 60 per cent by weight of the quantity of the entire mixture.
A third component in a gas-sealed material of the invention is poly-~0 amide. For the polyamide, for instance the following polyamides may be used: polyamide 6, polyamide 8, polyamide 10, polyamide 11, polv-amide 12, polyamide 6.6, polyaMide 6.10, and polyamide 12-elastomers, or mixtures thereof. The quantity of polymer in the material of the invention may be selected from the range 1 to 50 per cent by weigh~
The polyamide enhances the viscosity and deep-drawing properties of the mixture of polyolefin and the poly~inyl alcohol copolymer.
The gas-sealed polyolefin/PVA/PA mixture of the invention can be 3~ manufactured mixing the polyolefin component modified with thz acid, the vinyl alcohol/copolymer component, and the polyamide component in a melt mixer simultaneously as a dry mixture, premixed in solid or Ln molten staee, or then various componenc5 are added separately.
3~ From the polyolefin/PVA/PA mixture of the invention various products may be prepared by combining the mixture with polyolefins, other plastics or othsr ma~erials, such as fibre-based materials. Multiple . . , . ~. - :
