A composition comprising the following: A) coated polymer particles, and wherein the polymer particles are formed from a first composition comprising an ethylene-based polymer that comprises the following properties: a density from 0.854 to 0.860 g/cc, and a melt index (I2) from 4.0 to 15.0 g/10 min; and wherein the polymer particles comprise a coating on at least a portion of the total surface of the polymer particles, and wherein the coating is formed from a powder composition comprising at least one inorganic powder, and at least one organic powder selected from a metal stearate and/or a polymer powder, and wherein the weight ratio of the total amount of the inorganic powder to the total amount of the organic powder is from 3.0 to 50.0; B) optionally, a propylene-based polymer.

Compositions containing coated polymer particles and TPO compositions formed from the same

A modifier for forming sub-ambient temperature use containers includes (a) from 10 wt % to 50 wt % of a block composite, a specified block composite, or a crystalline block composite, (b) from 20 wt % to 90 wt % of a first polyolefin copolymer, the first polyolefin copolymer being derived from ethylene and at least one of a Cto Calpha-olefin, having a melt index from 0.5 g/10 min to 1500 g/10 min, and having a density from 0.850 g/cmto 0.910 g/cm, and (c) optionally, from 30 wt % to 70 wt % of a second polyolefin copolymer, the second polyolefin copolymer being derived from ethylene and at least one of a Cto Calpha-olefin, having a melt index from 100 g/10 min to 2000 g/10 min, and having a density from 0.860 g/cmto 0.900 g/cm.

Impact modified compositions for low temperature use containers

Embodiments relate to compositions comprising: (a) from 60 wt % to 90 wt % of a propylene polymer base that has a melt flow rate from 2 g/10 min to 100 g/10 min according to ASTM D1238 (230&#xb0; C./2.16 kg); (b) from 2 wt % to 39.5 wt % of an olefin block copolymer; and (c) from 0.5 wt % to 20 wt % of a composite component comprising a crystalline block composite or a block composite.
