Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A multilayer article prepared by rotational moulding can include a layer A that is a polyolefin (PO) based layer prepared from PO and a functionalised polyolefin (FPO), or a PO grafter to a non-polyolefin (NPO) in the form of a block copolymer (PO-g-NPO). A layer B can be a PO that is dissimilar from layer A, an NPO, a mixture thereof, and optionally an FPO or a PO-g-NPO. A layer C can be dissimilar from layer A and similar to or dissimilar from layer B. Layer C can be adjacent to layer A and/or layer B, can have good adhesion to layer A and/or layer B, and is not a blend of layer A and layer B. A method of preparing the multilayer article can include rotational moulding.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A multilayer article prepared by rotational molding comprising: (a) an outer layer prepared from a polyethylene composition comprising at least 40 wt. % of a first polymer component comprising a non-functionalized polyethylene and from 2 wt. % to 60 wt. % of a second polymer component wherein the second polymer component of the outer layer comprises a polyolefin (PO) grafted to a non-olefinic polymer (NPO) in the form of ((PO)g-NPO) and wherein the second polymer component comprises a functionalized polyethylene having reactive functional units with acid functions or corresponding salt or ester functions or with maleic anhydride functions; and (b) an inner layer prepared from a composition comprising a polyamide, wherein the polyamide is present in an amount ranging from 75 to 100 wt % of said composition of the inner layer, wherein the melting point of the polyethylene composition is at least 15° C. lower than the melting point of the polyamide, wherein the melting point of the polyethylene composition is less than 145° C., and wherein the melting point of the polyamide is at least 145° C. 2. The multilayer article of claim 1 , wherein the ((PO)g-NPO) is polyolefin grafted to polyamide.
