Multilayer article suitable for use as a fuel container

A fuel container which is a multilayer article obtained by a rotational molding process, the multilayer article comprising:

• at least one layer of a thermally cured polymer composition (B);
• and
• a seamless layer of a barrier polymer composition (A), wherein:
• (i) the barrier polymer composition (A) consists of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer modified with a group containing at least one pendent primary hydroxyl group of formula(I);
• wherein X is selected from hydrogen a methyl group and a hydroxyalkyl group represented by the formula R2—OH;
• and R1 is selected from a direct bond and an alkylene group having a carbon number of from 1 to 9, and R2 is selected from a direct bond, an alkylene group having a carbon number of from 1 to 9, and an alkyleneoxy group having a carbon number of from 1 to 9,
• wherein the alkylene and alkyleneoxy group optionally contain one or more pendant hydroxyl groups, alkoxy groups and/or halogens and a compound selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal salt, a phosphoric acid compound, a boron compound and a mixture thereof,
• wherein
• the modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer comprises:
• (a) an ethylene content from about 18 to about 55 mol %;
• (ii) the melt temperature of the barrier polymer composition (A) is less than about 160° C.;
• (iii) the thermally cured polymer composition (B) comprises a thermally cured polymer;
• (iv) the thermally cured polymer composition comprises from about 0.001 wt % to about 1 wt % of one or more materials selected from the group consisting of a hydrotalcite compound, a hindered phenol-based heat stabilizer, a hindered amine-based heat stabilizer, and a metal salt of a higher fatty carboxylic acid;
• and wherein a monolayer film prepared from the barrier polymer composition (A) exhibits an oxygen permeability that is less than about 3.2cc, 20 micron/m2.day.atm.
