Foamed reactor made thermoplastic polyolefins (rTPOs), and articles made therefrom, are described. The compositions have an rTPO combined with a foaming agent. The foaming agent can be a physical blowing agent and/or a chemical foaming agent, and may include optional nucleating agents. Some compositions utilize a masterbatch having one or more chemical foaming agents to foam the rTPOs. The rTPOs have a large melt flow rate range and flexural modulus range that translate into a broad scope of potential applications and foamed architecture. This allows the combination of rTPOs and foaming agents to be fine-tuned for selected foaming application.

Foamable polyolefin compositions and methods thereof

A high impact strength random block copolymer including (a) about 65-97 wt. % of a crystalline propylene/ethylene copolymer A containing from about 0.5 wt. % to about 6 wt. % derived from ethylene and from about 94 wt. % to about 99.5 wt. % derived from propylene, and (b) about 3-35 wt. % of a propylene/ethylene copolymer B containing from about 8 wt. % to about 40 wt % derived from ethylene and from about 60 wt % to about 92 wt. % derived from propylene. The crystalline to amorphous ratio Lc/La of the random block copolymer ranges from about 1.00 to about 2.25. The random block copolymer is characterized by both high toughness and low haze.

Supertransparent high impact strength random block copolymer

A polymer blend includes a first random copolymer of propylene and one or more C-C&#x3b1;-olefins other than propylene having a melting point of above 116&#xb0; C. and up to about 145&#xb0; C. and which constitutes from about 60 weight percent to about 95 weight percent of the composition, and a second random copolymer of propylene and one or more C-C&#x3b1;-olefins other than propylene having a melting point of from about 70&#xb0; C. to no more than 116&#xb0; C. and which constitutes from about 5 weight percent to about 40 weight percent of the composition. The polymer blend includes a xylene soluble fraction having a weight average molecular weight of above about 100 kg/mol and an intrinsic viscosity of above about 1.0 dl/g.
