Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a laminate comprising: an outer polyethylene layer comprises at least 10% on the weight of polyethylene, a UV radiation blocking agent or a chromophore; a barrier layer with at least 15%-50% of an aromatic polyamide; and a polyethylene sealant layer. The Ultra Violet radiation resistant laminate is an opaque laminate or a transparent laminate. The outer polyethylene layer and the barrier layer with at least one aromatic polyamide is a multilayer film, preferably three layer film. The present disclosure also relates to a process for the preparation of the laminate.
