POLYOLEFIN COMPOSITION HAVING A HIGH BALANCE OF STIFFNESS, IMPACT STRENGTH AND ELONGATION AT BREAK AND LOW THERMAL SHRINKAGE

摘要

Polymer composition showing an improved balance of flexural modulus, IZOD impact strength and elongation at break comprising (percent by weight): A) a polymer blend comprising: A1) 50-70% of a crystalline propylene homopolymer or copolymer; and A2) 30-50% of one or more copolymer(s) of ethylene with one or more C4-C10 alpha -olefin(s) containing from 15 to 35% of said C4-C10 alpha-olefin(s); said polymer blend (A) having values of MFR equal to or higher than 10g/10 min., a total content C4-C10 alpha-olefin(s) equal to or higher than 8% and an intrinsic viscosity value of the fraction soluble in xylene at room temperature of from 1.3 to 2 dl/g, the amounts of (A1) and (A2) being referred to the total weight of the polymer blend; and optionally B) 1-15% of an elastomeric polymer different from A2), having a hardness (Shore A, ASTM D-2240) value equal to or lower than 90 points; and/or C) 0.5-20% of a mineral filler; the amounts of optional components (B) and (C) being referred to the total weight of the composition. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
