Abstract
Resin blends containing hydrolyzed ethylene-vinyl acetate resin and demonstrating improved impact-resistance properties compared to the unblended hydrolyzed ethylene-vinyl acetate resin are obtained by blending (a) as host resin, a copolymer/terpolymer of ethylene, vinyl acetate and vinyl alcohol in which ethylene is present at from about 2 to about 60 weight percent, vinyl acetate is present at from 0 to about 10 weight percent and vinyl alcohol is present at about 98 to about 40 weight percent, with (b) an impact-resistance-increasing amount of an impact modifying resin which is a partially hydrolyzed ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer in which ethylene is present at about 25 to about 70 weight percent, vinyl acetate is present at about 20 to about 70 weight percent and vinyl alcohol is present at about 0.5 to about 25 weight percent.
