Abstract
A multi-layer container may include: a barrier layer made of polymer blend composition and at least one further layer including high density polyethylene. The polymer blend composition may include: 78-92% by weight of a homopolymer or copolymer of ethylene; 3-10% by weight of a polyamide homopolymer; 5-10% by weight of maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene; and 0-2% by weight of a first antistatic compound on a total weight of the polymer blend composition, in combination with first additives. The multi-layer container may have a thickness greater than or equal to 1.5 millimeters (mm) and less than or equal to 2.5 mm, a volume greater than or equal to 800 liters and less than or equal to 1,200 liters, or both.
Claims19
An extruded blow-molded multi-layer container comprising:
- an inner layer including a high density polyethylene polymer exhibiting:
- a melt flow index ranging between 2-12 g/10 min at 190° C./21.6 Kg,
- a yield strength ranging between 23-28 MPa when stretched at 50 mm/min, at 23° C.,
- an elongation ranging between 500-700%,
- an outer layer including 70%-90% by weight of a high density polyethylene polymer exhibiting:
- a melt flow index ranging between 2-12 g/10 min at 190° C./21.6 Kg,
- a yield strength ranging between 23-28 MPa when stretched at 50 mm/min, at 23° C.,
- a barrier layer disposed between the inner layer and the outer layer, the barrier layer including:
- 78-92% by weight of a homopolymer or copolymer of ethylene,
- 3-10% by weight of a polyamide homopolymer,
- 5-10% by weight of maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAgPE).
