Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition pellet(s), films, and multi-layer structure formed therefrom, as well as methods for preparing such ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition pellets are provided herein. The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition typically comprises at least two melting point temperatures, and a boron compound, wherein the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition has a boron content of about 25 to about 300 ppm and has an iodine dyed region of about 0.1 mmor less after dripping 0.01 mL of iodine solution on the surface of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition, dipping the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition into water for 5 seconds, and drying at a temperature of 120&#xb0; C. for 2 hours.

Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition, film, and multi-layer structure comprising the same, as well as methods thereof

Ethylene-vinyl alcohol pellet(s), films, and multi-layer structure formed therefrom, as well as methods for preparing such ethylene-vinyl alcohol pellets are provided herein. The ethylene-vinyl alcohol pellets have at least two melting point temperatures and a light transmittance of greater than 8% for visible light wavelengths. The ethylene-vinyl alcohol pellet may have a haze value of less than 99.8%. One method for producing the EVOH pellet includes: obtaining a first solution comprising a first ethylene-vinyl acetate having a first ethylene content; obtaining a second solution comprising a second ethylene-vinyl acetate having a second ethylene content that is different from the first ethylene content; solution mixing; saponification; pelletizing the mixed solution to form a pellet; contacting the pellet to a boron solution; and drying the pellet.
