First Claim
Patent Images
1. The method of making a plastic vessel having a wall surface having a barrier coating, the method comprising the steps of:
- sequentially depositing individual inorganic and individual organic barrier layers to said wall surface by the PCVD (Plasma-Chemical-Vapor-Depositing) process to define said barrier coating with the first barrier layer deposited on and in contact with said wall surface always being organic and the last barrier layer deposited and in contact with a substance stored in said vessel always being inorganic;
ending the application of said barrier layers when at least one inorganic barrier layer has been applied and at least one organic barrier layer has been applied;
the inorganic barrier layer being made of at least one of the following substances;
oxides, nitrides, oxynitrides and a mixture of said oxides, nitrides and oxynitrides; and
,the organic barrier layer being made of an organic polymer material.

Abstract
A plastic vessel has a barrier coating comprising sequentially arranged barrier layers of organic polymer and of inorganic oxides, nitrides or oxynitrides. The barrier coating preferably has at least two inorganic barrier layers. The thickness of the inorganic barrier layers lies between 2 and 300 nm and the thickness of the organic barrier layer lies between 2 and 1000 nm. The total thickness of the layer packet should not exceed 0.1 mm.
