Multiple layer structures comprising a poly (vinylidene chloride) layer

A multiple layer structure comprising:

• a skin layer;
• a PVDC layer attached to the skin layer, the PVDC layer comprising a component selected from the group consisting of a poly(vinylidene chloride), a poly(vinylidene chloride) copolymer, and combinations thereof attached to the heat seal layer;
• a tie layer attached to the PVDC layer, the tie layer comprising a component selected from the group consisting of (a) polyether polyester copolymers, (b) polyurethanes having a melting temperature above about 121° C., (c) a blend comprising a polyamide and an ethylene copolymer containing an amine reactive functional group, and combinations thereof;
• and
• a heat seal layer attached to the tie layer.

A multiple layer structure having a first surface and a second surface, the multiple layer structure comprising:

• a skin layer at the first surface of the structure;
• a PVDC layer comprising a component selected from the group consisting of a poly(vinylidene chloride), a poly(vinylidene chloride) copolymer, and combinations thereof attached to the skin layer;
• at least one tie layer attached to at least one side of the PVDC layer, the tie layer comprising a component selected from the group consisting of (a) polyether polyester copolymers, (b) polyurethanes having a melting temperature above about 121° C., (c) a blend comprising a polyamide and an ethylene copolymer containing an amine reactive functional group, and combinations thereof;
• and
• a heat seal layer at the second surface that is opposite of the first surface.
