Abstract: A layered film having at least one layer containing metallic particulate in an extrudable thermoplastic material such as an ionomer, ionomeric precursor or the like, and a molded article containing the same. The layered film can be produced by an extrusion process.

Abstract: A layered film having at least one layer containing particulate pigment in an extrudable thermoplastic material such as an ionomer, ionomeric precursor or the like, and a molded article containing the same. The layered film can be produced by an extrusion process and has a polymeric matrix essentially free of iron/ionomer complexes.

Abstract: Described is a closure capable of opening by expansion of an occupant restraint cushion in a recessed area of an interior vehicle trim comprising a first molded layer comprised of a mixture of a polypropylene composition and a thermoplastic elastomer composition; a second layer integrally molded with and on one side of the first layer covering the recess for the restraint cushion and comprised of a mixture of a polypropylene and a thermoplastic elastomer. The first layer has a frangible reduced thickness area on the opposite side of the second layer which area breaks upon exit of the restraint cushion within the closure. The second layer has a Shore A hardness and is softer than the first layer and is capable of bending upon exiting of the bag in a bending or compressing area near the frangible reduced thickness area of the first layer.
