Abstract
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.
