- Pw and P M are to a reasonable approximation independent of t and p, and P M of T although they are often appreciably dependent on other conditions of the measurement such as the humidity of the atmosphere on the oxygen-rich side and the temperature of the measurement.
- concentrations and activity of scavenger vary with time (particularly as the scavenger is consumed). This typically does not prevent measurement of P w and P M reasonably accurately as a function of time, because the changes in dV/dt are relatively gradual once the normal initial equilibration period of a few days is over. After a few days' exposure to the measurement conditions, however, a non-scavenging material typically achieves a steady state in which dV/dt is equal to the rate of oxygen ingress to the wall, while a scavenging material achieves an (almost) steady state in which dV/dt is considerably less than the rate of oxygen ingress to the material.
- P w calculated from (1) is a function of p as well as of t and that P M in (2) is a function of p and T as well as of t.
- P w and P M for scavenging materials are, strictly speaking, not true permeances and permeabilities at all (since permeation and scavenging are occurring simultaneously) but, rather, apparent ones.
- OTR can be measured for bottles, for example, by controlling the atmosphere on both sides of a sample of bottles and measuring the rate of oxygen permeation over time.
- the bottles are mounted on a plate such that there are two ports for gas inlet and outlet.
- the interior of the bottles is separated from the exterior by an air tight seal.
- the interior of the bottle is flushed with N 2 gas (or N 2 + H 2 mixture) to remove any oxygen present before mounting on plate.
- the bottle is then placed in a controlled environmental chamber (maintained at 23 °C and 50% RH) such that the exterior of the bottle is at standard atmosphere with -21% oxygen.
- the interior of the bottle is continuously flushed with N 2 (or N 2 + H 2 ) at a known gas flow rate.
- the outlet of the flushed gases contains oxygen permeating through the bottle wall.
- This flushed gas from the bottle interior is passed over a sensor that is calibrated to measure oxygen content of the flushed gas.
- Such measurements of oxygen content are made continously over time until a steady state is reached.
- This steady state value is typically reported as Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) for that bottle in the units of cc/package/day.
- OTR Oxygen Transmission Rate
- a preferred OTR for PET bottles is less than 0.1 cc/package/day; more preferred is less than 0.01 cc/package/day; most preferred for PET bottles is less than 0.001 cc/package/day over the shelf life of the packaged product.
- a disclosed composition has an OTR of less than that of an otherwise identical composition in the absence of the amide compound and the transition metal. In further aspects, a disclosed composition has an OTR of less than about 75%, less than about 50%, less than about 25%, less than about 20%, less than about 10%, less than about 5%, or less than about 1% of an otherwise identical composition in the absence of the amide compound and the transition metal.

- Oxygen permeability tests can also be carried out according to the method disclosed in
- the composition can be made by mixing the polymer (comprising the amide compound), and optionally the transition metal, and optionally a colorant.
- the transition metal may already be present in the polymer prior to mixing, for example if the transition metal is used as a catalyst for making the base polymer.
- Other optional ingredients can be added during this mixing process or added to the mixture after the aforementioned mixing or to an individual component prior to the aforementioned mixing step.
- the composition can also be made by adding each ingredient separately and mixing the ingredients just prior to melt processing the composition to form an article.
- the mixing can be just prior to the melt process zone.
- one or more ingredients can be premixed in a separate step prior to bringing all of the ingredients together.
- the transition metal can be added neat or in a carrier (such as a liquid or wax) to an extruder or other device for making the article, or the metal can be present in a concentrate or carrier with the polymer. It is desirable that the addition of the transition metal does not substantially increase the intrinsic viscosity of the melt in the melt processing zone.
- transition metal or metals can be added in two or more stages, such as once during the melt phase for the production of the polymer and again once more to the melting zone for making the article.
- the melt blend of the polymer and any other ingredients can also be prepared by adding the components at the throat of an injection molding machine that: (i) produces a preform that can be stretch blow molded into the shape of the container, (ii) produces a film that can be oriented into a packaging film, (iii) produces a sheet that can be thermoformed into a food tray, or (iv) produces an injection molded container.
- the mixing section of the extruder should be of a design to produce a homogeneous blend. Such process steps work well for forming carbonated soft drink, water or beer bottles, packaging films and
- thermoformed trays The present invention can be employed in any of the conventional known processes for producing a polymeric container, film, tray, or other article that would benefit from oxygen scavenging.
- Suitable articles include vessels and films, such as flexible sheet films, flexible bags, pouches, semirigid and rigid containers such as bottles (e.g. PET bottles) or metal cans, or combinations thereof.
- Typical flexible films and bags include those used to package various food items and can be made up of one or a multiplicity of layers to form the overall film or bag-like packaging material.
- the composition of the present invention can be used in one, some or all of the layers of such packaging material.
- Specific articles include preforms, containers and films for packaging of food, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products where a high oxygen barrier is needed.
- beverage containers are bottles for holding water and carbonated soft drinks, and the invention is particularly useful in bottle applications containing juices, sport drinks, beer or any other beverage where oxygen detrimentally affects the flavor, fragrance, performance (e.g. , vitamin degradation), or color of the drink.
- the compositions are also particularly useful as a sheet for thermoforming into rigid packages and films for flexible structures. Rigid packages include food trays and lids.
- Examples of food tray applications include dual ovenable food trays, or cold storage food trays, both in the base container and in the lidding (whether a thermoformed lid or a film), where the freshness of the food contents can decay with the ingress of oxygen.
- the compositions can also be used in the manufacture of cosmetic containers and containers for pharmaceuticals or medical devices.
- suitable articles include rigid or semi-rigid articles including plastic, such as those utilized for juices, soft drinks, as well as thermoformed trays or cup normally having thickness in the range of from 100 to 1000 micrometers.

- the article can also take the form of a bottle or can, or a crown, cap, crown or cap liner, plastisol or gasket.
- the composition of the present invention can be used as an integral layer or portion of, or as an external or internal coating or liner of, the formed semi-rigid or rigid packaging article.
- the composition can be extruded as a film along with the rigid article itself, e.g., by coextrusion, extrusion coating, or an extrusion lamination process, so as to form the liner in situ during article production; or alternatively can be adhered by heat and/or pressure, by adhesive, or by any other suitable method.
- the permeability of the composition for oxygen is advantageously not more than about 3.0, or about 1.7, or about
- the permeability of the composition is not more than about three-quarters of that in the absence of the amide compound. In some aspects, the permeability is not more than about one half, one-tenth in certain embodiments, one twenty-fifth in other embodiments, and not more than one- hundredth of that in the absence of the amide compound.
- the invention can also be used as a non-integral component of a packaging article such as, for example, a bottle cap liner, adhesive or non-adhesive sheet insert, sealant, sachet, fibrous mat insert or the like.
- articles for packaging other oxygen-sensitive products can also benefit from the present invention.
- Such products would include pharmaceuticals, oxygen sensitive medical products, corrodible metals or products, electronic devices and the like.
- the composition can be used as a master batch for blending with a polymer or a polymer containing component.
- concentration of the amide compound and the transition metal will be high enough to allow for the final blended product to have suitable amounts of these components.
- the master batch can also contain an amount of the base polymer with which the master batch is blended.
- Oxygen permeability of an article can be maintained for a longer period of time by storing the article in a sealed container or under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen prior to use with oxygen sensitive materials.
