2. Description of the Related Art Generally, EVOH is excellent in transparency, antistatic property, oil resistance, solvent resistance, gas barrier property, and aroma retention, but on the other hand, EVOH is inferior in impact resistance. It is used by laminating it with a thermoplastic resin.

However, in the techniques disclosed in JP-A-53-88067 and JP-A-59-20345, it is necessary to add a large amount of a plasticizer in order to sufficiently improve the stretching properties. Yes, this significantly reduces the gas barrier property. The techniques disclosed in JP-A-52-141785 and JP-A-58-36412 are not preferable because long-run processability remains a problem, a large number of gels are generated in the molded product, and coloring occurs. Regarding the technique disclosed in JP-A-63-264656, blends of EVOHs having greatly different ethylene contents have poor transparency and gas barrier properties.
No. 30757 discloses an EV having a low saponification degree.
Since OH is used, thermal stability is deteriorated and gel is generated.

Furthermore, in the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-40516, at the time of stretching, first, the temperature is raised to 10 to 30 ° C. higher than the stretching temperature, and then heat is drawn to the stretching temperature for stretching, that is, crystallization of EVOH is taken into consideration. The stretchability (voids, cracks, unevenness) is improved, but the stretchability is such a stretch ratio as to be used in the production of containers from the examples of the publications, and the area ratio is 20 times. It is still unsatisfactory for applications requiring high stretching as described above, for example, stretched barrier film applications, and there is room for improvement in further stretchability. Therefore, when it is used for lamination with a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene, it has excellent transparency without impairing the excellent gas barrier property of EVOH, and has excellent stretchability without causing breakage, pinholes, cracks, stretching unevenness, or the like. Development of a good EVOH resin composition is desired.
