Thermoformable, multi-layer plastic sheet having gas barrier properties
First Claim
1. A thermoformable, multi-layer plastic sheet having gas barrier properties, the sheet comprising an inner extrudable gas barrier layer, a glue layer applied to either side of the gas barrier layer, each of the glue layers having layers of a first polyolefin composition bonded to it and at least one of the two first polyolefin layers being bonded to a second polyolfin layer which has a lower melt index than the layer of the first polyolefin composition underneath.

Abstract
A thermoformable, multi-layer plastic sheet with gas barrier properties is disclosed having an inner gas barrier layer, a glue layer applied to either side of the gas barrier layer and layers of a polyolefin composition bonded to the glue layers. To increase the tensile strength of the sheet during heating for the purpose of thermoforming, a second polyolefin layer is bonded to at least one of the two polyolefin layers, the second polyolefin layer having a lower melt index than the layer of the polyolefin composition beneath it.
