Abstract
A polyolefin compound including: A) at least one thermoplastic olefin copolymer including the reaction product of olefin 1 and olefin 2, wherein: olefin 1 is a Cbased olefin and olefin 2 is a Cto Cα-olefin or olefin 1 is a Cbased olefin and olefin 2 is a Cto Cα-olefin; B) at least one functional polymer, the functional polymer content in the polyolefin compound being between 1 and 75 weight percent of the combined components A and B; wherein the thermoplastic olefin copolymer and the functional polymer form a co-continuous phase; wherein: a) an 12 melt index of the polyolefin compound is from about 1 to about 15 as measured using ASTM D 1238; b) a Shore A hardness of the polyolefin compound is from about 55 to about 100 as measured using ASTM D2240; c) a flexural modulus of the polyolefin compound is from about 0.8 to about 30 kpsi as measured using ASTM D790.
