Zusammenfassung:Compositions for scavenging oxygen are disclosed. These compositions compris e copolyamides comprising over 50 weight percent polyamide segments and an active oxygen scavenging amount of polyolefin oligomer segments. The polyamide segments comprise segments derived from typical bottling and packaging polyamides such as polyhexamethyleneadipamide and polyphthalamides. The copolymers are preferably formed by transesterification during reactive extrusion and typically comprise about 0.5 to about 12 wt.% of polyolefin oligomer segments. The copolyamides provide enhanced active and passive oxygen barrie r properties over similar polyester constructions and similar polyamide constructions, when used in a laminar construction. In a series of preferred embodiments, multi-layered bottles fabricated with the oxygen scavenging copolyamides of this invention are about 99.8 wt.% polyamide and suitable for recycle with other polyamide bottles.
