Abstract:
Extruded films comprising ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) with substantially no blow holes therein, are formed by using a pellet feed to the extruder wherein 90-100 wt. % of the pellets pass through an ASTM size 5 sieve and 0-10 wt. % of the pellets are finer than a number 10 mesh (ASTM Sieve size). Uniform feeding to and through the extruder with a lack of bridging of the EVOH pellet feed have been observed.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for extrusion EVOH pellets to an extruder and conveying the pellets through the extruder until the pellets become molten prior to extrusion, comprising feeding the extruder with EVOH pellets exhibiting a particle size distribution of 90-100 wt. % of the pellets in the range of 5-10 mesh (ASTM Ell sieve size), and 0-10 wt. % of the pellets finer than a number 10 mesh (ASTM Ell sieve size).
