Abstract
A resin composition comprising (A) a polyolefin resin, (B) a vinyl alcohol copolymer and (C′) a block copolymer composed of a polymer block of an aromatic vinyl compound and an isobutylenic polymer block, the weight ratio of (A) to (B) ranging from 100/10 to 100/1000 and the weight ratio of (C′) to [(A)+(B)] ranging from 5/100 to 1000/100 is a flexible resin material having high gas barrier properties, good heat resistance and good moldability or formability so that it is useful as a material for various molded or formed articles. In addition, a closure (cap, stopper or the like) for containers or a sealing element (packing element) for the closure for containers which is formed of a resin composition comprising (A) a polyolefin resin, (B) a vinyl alcohol copolymer and (C) an elastomer, the weight ratio of (A) to (B) ranging from 100/10 to 100/1000 and the weight ratio of (C) to [(A)+(B)] ranging from 5/100 to 100/100 has good hermetical sealing properties and good mountability onto (or within) a container and is also excellent in the long-term shelf stability of contents.
