Abstract
A substantially continuous, gas-impermeable, film is disclosed including a combination of metal orthophosphate and dialdehyde-treated poly(vinyl alcohol). Barrier properties of a laminate utilizing the film are greatly improved by a heat treatment.
Claims6
A substantially continuous, gas-impermeable, film of high barrier quality comprising a homogeneous combination of:
- (i) 85 to 98 weight percent metal orthophosphate wherein the atom ratio of metal to phosphorus is from 0.5 to 2.3 and the metal is more than 50 atom percent aluminum or iron and less than 50 atom percent tin, titanium, or zirconium;
- and (ii) 2 to 15 weight percent poly(vinyl alcohol) reacted with a dialdehyde having more than two and less than eight carbon atoms.
A coating composition comprising an aqueous dispersion having less than 10 weight percent solids of which 85 to 98 weight percent is metal orthophosphate formed from metal and phosphate wherein more than 50 atom percent of the metal is aluminum or iron and less than 50 atom percent of the metal is tin, titanium, or zirconium and of which 2 to 15 weight percent is poly(vinyl alcohol) and a dialdehyde having more than two and less than eight carbon atoms, the dialdehyde being present in a mol ratio range of 2 to 10 vinyl alcohol to dialdehyde.
