a method for manufacturing a plastic container which is substantially impervious to oxygen comprising the steps of corona treating a raw stock of polypropylene film ; coating a first side of said raw stock of polypropylene film with an aqueous oxygen barrier solution ; placing the film in an injection mold ; and injection molding a polypropylene material into the mold to bring the polypropylene material in direct contact with the aqueous oxygen barrier solution . an oxygen resistant container has a floor . a sidewall extends from the floor . an oxygen barrier material is disposed on a film . the film is disposed on the container so that the oxygen barrier material is in direct contact with the sidewall . the oxygen barrier material is one of a nano - silicate and a nano - clay .
