Ethylene vinyl ester based copolymer saponified pellets and film containing the same

Saponified pellets of an ethylene-vinyl ester based copolymer having an ethylene content of 24-48 mole %, when the ethylene content is 24-35 mole %, a turbidity of the pellets as dissolved in a 60 wt % methanol aqueous solution is less than 300 NTU;

• or when the ethylene content is 36-48 mole %, a turbidity of the pellets as dissolved in an 80 wt % methanol aqueous solution is less than 200 NTU,
• wherein the measurement method of the turbidity of the pellets dissolved in the 60 wt % methanol aqueous solution or in the 80 wt % methanol aqueous solution is to weight the pellets of 2.5 grams (g) and place the pellets into a 250 ml conical flask, and a 60 wt % or 80 wt % methanol aqueous solution of 84 g is added to the 250 ml conical flask, and the solvent and the pellets are heated under reflux in the conical flask for 2 hours until dissolving with the temperature of a hot plate is 450° C., and after that, the hot plate is cooled down to 60° C., and the solution turbidity is then determined using a Turbidimeter HI98703 instrument in accordance with ISO-7027 method.
