  • Patent number: 4833195
    Abstract: A thermoplastic pelletizable polymer composition comprising an oligomer or degraded polyolefin and an olefinic elastomer. Optionally, the composition can also include a polyolefin thermoplastic polymer. The composition, when converted to a film or fabric meets the criteria or drapability, low hardness on the Shore A scale, high melt flow and reprocessability.

  • Patent number: 4696967
    Abstract: A low smoke and flame retardant composition comprising an acrylate rubber and a polyolefin resin compatibilized with aluminum trihydrate. The composition can be made by dynamically partially curing blends of acrylate rubber and polyolefin resin with compatibilizing amounts of aluminum trihydrate to yield a thermoplastic elastomer with improved properties at elevated temperatures. The acrylate rubber can comprise an acrylate ester polymer or a copolymer of acrylate ester with ethylene. The polyolefin resin is preferably a high molecular weight polymerization product of either ethylene or propylene, preferably propylene.
