The present disclosure relates to polymer compositions, articles formed from polymer compositions, methods of making polymer compositions, and methods of making articles including polymer compositions. In at least one embodiment, a composition includes: (1) an ethylene polymer, (2) a vinyl alcohol polymer or a polyamide, and (3) a polar polymer or a grafted polyolefin. A composition of the present disclosure may further include a polypropylene polymer. A polar polymer may be an ethylene-acrylic-acid-copolymer, ethylene acrylate copolymer, a polyvinyl acetate, or combination(s) thereof. In at least one embodiment, a film includes a composition having: (1) an ethylene polymer, (2) a vinyl alcohol polymer or a polyamide, and (3) a polar polymer or a grafted polyolefin.

Polyolefin compositions, articles thereof, and methods thereof

Wax-free masterbatch compositions and methods of formulation thereof for use in the production of various end-use plastic products. The wax-free masterbatch compositions may comprise at least titanium dioxide and propylene-ethylene copolymer, and optionally, a carrier resin. The propylene-ethylene copolymer may have about 6% to about 20% by weight ethylene content.

Masterbatch compositions having titanium dioxide and propylene-ethylene copolymer

A thermoplastic polymer blend having improved impact performance includes from about 50 wt % to about 98 wt % polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a polymeric toughening agent and a compatibilizer. The compatibilizer is a functionalized polyolefin, a thermoplastic copolymer or a thermoplastic terpolymers. The ratio of wt % compatibilizer to wt % polymeric toughening agent, based on the total weight of the thermoplastic polymer blend, is from about 0.1 to about 0.4.
