The present invention is directed to an elastomer composition comprising an ethylene/&#x3b1;-olefin/diene modified interpolymer, a very low density polyethylene component, and a propylene polymer component, wherein the propylene polymer component comprises at least one branched polypropylene. The inventive compositions are particularly suitable for fabricating thermoformed non-carpet automotive flooring.

Thermoplastic polyolefin with reduced gloss for non-carpeted flooring

The present invention relates to filled thermoplastic polyolefin compositions useful for use in sound-deadening articles for automotive applications comprising an olefin block copolymer, one or more linear ethylene polymer and/or substantially linear ethylene polymer, a propylene polymer, and a filler. Said compositions demonstrate a good balance of heat properties and stiffness such that it is particularly suitable for injection molding sound-deadening articles therefrom.

Injection-moldable sound-deadening filled thermoplastic polyolefin composition

The present invention relates to filled thermoplastic polyolefin compositions useful e.g., as sound-deadening sheeting for formed automotive applications comprising a propylene polymer having a density equal to or greater than 0.885 g/cm, one or more linear ethylene polymer and/or substantially linear polymer, a plasticizer, and a filler, preferably calcium carbonate. Said composition demonstrates a good balance of heat properties and stiffness such that it is particularly suitable for sheet extrusion and thermoforming articles therefrom.

Sound-deadening filled thermoplastic polyolefin composition

A process () for manufacturing a shaped article (), comprising the steps of: dry blending () a plurality of different particulated ingredients () to form a uniform particle blend; reblending the particle blend by substantially defining a mass flow in a discharge unit () including an insert () and shaping the particle blend in a part shaping machine () to form the shaped article ().

Process for shaping polymeric articles

The present invention is directed to a polymeric material, particularly a thermoplastic material, the includes thermoplastic polyolefin and an elastomer.

Polymeric material and process for forming and using same

The present invention is directed to welding of a polymeric material and structures formed by such welding. The material is preferably a thermoplastic material that is a blend of one or more thermoplastic polyolefins and one or more elastomers. One preferred welding technique is vibration welding.

Welding of a polymeric material and structures formed thereby

The invention relates to polymers derived from macrocyclic oligomers containing organo clay fillers comprising a) a polymer derived from a macrocyclic oligomer; b) clay platelets; and c) the residue of one or more onium compounds having at least one ligand with a Cor greater carbon chain and at least one ligand containing one or more functional groups having one or more active hydrogen atoms wherein the functional group is reactive with the macrocyclic oligomer and/or functional groups formed when the macrocyclic oligomer decyclizes wherein a portion of one or more of the onium compounds is ironically bound to the clay platelet and covalently bonded to the polymers derived from macrocyclic oligomers. The invention also relates to processes for preparing such compositions. Furthermore, the invention relates to articles prepared from organoclay filled polymer compositions.
