According to a data sheet disclosed by Unisource Worldwide, Inc., Ethylene Vinyl Chloride (EVOH) seems to be the best oxygen barrier. (See http://www.unisourcelink.com/Packaging/pdf/MoistureBarrier.pdf)

However Dow Chemical Company purports to have developed SaranTM which exceeds EVOH in its oxygen barrier performance. (http://plastics.dow.com/plastics/ap/techcenters/saran/perf/oxy.htm)
