Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9813266A1] A transparent oxygen-scavenging article for packaging oxygen-sensitive products, such as beer, juice, ketchup, etc. The oxygen-scavenging article includes a biaxially-oriented <u>aromatic</u> polyester polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), and an oxygen-scavenging aromatic ester polymer compatible with the polyester polymer. The oxygen-scavenging polymer includes aromatic groups and alpha-hydrogen carbonyl groups of formula (I). Examples are polyesters from succinic, glutaric, adipic or suberic acid with hydroquinone, bisphenol A, styrene oxide or distyrene glycol or an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid containing copolyethylene naphthalate. Both polymers could form a copolymer, a blend or preferably different layers of the article. The oxygen-scavenging polymer may be incorporated into a barrier package at a competitive price, and provide the desired properties of transparency, thermal resistance, and pressurized strength.
