Polyolefin elastomer composition for artificial leather applications

摘要

The present invention relates to a thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer composition in powder form comprising (i) an olefin block copolymer or (ii) a substantially linear ethylene polymer and/or a linear ethylene polymer and propylene polymer blend. Said composition demonstrates good pulverizing and flow characteristics at ambient temperature. In another aspect, this invention relates to a process for preparing said thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer powder and applications for using said powder. In a further aspect, this invention relates to paper transfer molding said thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer composition into artificial leather, particularly for skins for automotive interior applications such as instrument panels.
