Summary:PURPOSE:To reduce the shrinkage accompanied with heating even in a high temperature sterilization and obtain excellent flexibility and oxygen barrier properties, by using as a material a laminated body made of a specific polymer composition and by irradiating the same with electron beams. CONSTITUTION:An internal/external layer is made of a composition of polyethylene with a density of 0.900-0.975g/cm and ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymer, which is partially or entirely graft-modified with unsaturated carboxylic acid or its derivative. An intermediate layer is made of oxygen barrier resin. This heat- resistant squeeze tube-like cylindrical container consisting of the internal, external and intermediate layers is irradiated with electron beams. In the internal/ external layer, the mixing ratio of the ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymer to the polyethylene is 5-50% in weight ratio. An electron beam absorbed-dose is 50-500 kGy. The oxygen barrier resin layer is a nylon or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer saponified layer.
