The invention relates to polymer powder compositions consisting of 1-99 wt. % of a polymer powder component A and 99-1 wt. % of a polymer powder component B, the average particle size of component A being smaller than that of component B, and to the preparation of hollow objects by rotational molding using these polymer powder compositions.

Polymer powder compositions, particularly polyethylene powder

Novel, rubbery copolymers of ethylene with at least one other .alpha.-alkene such as propylene, and a polyene such as 5-ethylidene norbornene-2, characterized by a differential scanning calorimetry thermogram maximum peak at a temperature between -7 and +11.degree. C., are disclosed. These specific rubbery copolymers when one or more tackifiers are included therein, exhibit an unprecedentedly high tack and consequently provide for the first time EDPM-type compositions that have sufficient building tack for the manufacture of multi-ply articles such as tires.
