Abstract

A process for preparing a molded article of a hydrolyzed ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer which includes separately melting each of a hydrolyzed ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and a polyolefin, admixing the melted copolymer with the melted polyolefin in a weight ratio of the hydrolyzed ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer to the polyolefin of 30/70 to 70/30 and molding the mixture, according to which the molded article having improved flex-crack resistance, stretchability and thermoformability can be obtained with minimized deterioration of gas-impermeability.
