Abstract

AbstractHDPE compounds containing various amounts of rigid (platy talc) or deformable (nylon‐6) oxygen barrier components were blended in a twin‐screw extruder and processed into thin films by blown film extrusion. The films were tested for oxygen permeability and mechanical properties and analyzed for morphology. Optimization of barrier component content is shown to depend on the desired permeability level, film ductility and processability.
