High gas barrier bottles
By using Nichigo G-Polymer™ as a middle layer, multilayer bottles with high gas
barrier performance can be made.
As an adhesive resin, maleic anhydride modifed PO can be
used.
Nichigo G-Polymer™ has excellent adhesion to co-PET, Even for multilayer bottles with
co-PET, there is also the possibility to control delamination without adhesive resin.
When co-PET is
collected and put through the process of pulverization and cleaning, the co-PET recycling rate can be
improved by removing only the co-PET thanks to Nichigo G-Polymer™’s good water solubility.

Co-PET multilayer bottles with Nichigo G-Polymer™ as a middle layer have high gas barrier
performance that is 3 times that of single layer co-PET bottles.
Furthermore, by placing a
Nichigo G-Polymer™ layer on the outside, gas barrier performance that is 50 times higher can be
achieved.
