Abstract: The incorporation of a metal oxide into a specific ethylene polymer-based molding composition reduces or eliminates the formation of bubbles during molding.

Abstract: A polypropylene composition useful for producing a shaped article, for example, a bumper, having excellent rigidity, resistance to mechanical impact at a low temperature and superior lacquer-bonding property and appearance, comprises:(A) 40% to 75% by weight of at least one crystalline ethylene-propylene block copolymer in which the content of the polymerized ethylene is in the range of from 5% to 10% by weight, in which the polypropylene component has a fraction thereof insoluble in boiling n-heptane, in an amount of 97% or more, in which a fraction of the block copolymer soluble in p-xylene at room temperature, has an intrinsic viscosity of from 2.5 to 4 determined in decahydronaphthalene at a temperature of 135.degree. C. and which has a melt flow index of from 11 to 70;(B) 20% to 40% by weight of at least one amorphous ethylene-propylene copolymer having an intrinsic viscosity of from 1.0 to 2.0 determined in decahydronaphthalene at a temperature of 135.degree. C., and a Mooney viscosity ML.sub.

Abstract: In an uncured filled coating composition comprising (a) a polyfuntional acrylic-type carboxylic acid ester monomer or its prepolymer, (b) a polymerization initiator capable of curing said monomer or prepolymer (a), and (c) an inorganic solid filler; the improvement wherein said composition consists essentially of(A) 100 parts by weight of said polyfunctional acrylic-acid carboxylic acid ester monomer or its prepolymer (a), said polyfunctional monomer or prepolymer (a) being composed of 0 to 75% by weight of a trifunctional or higher acrylic-type carboxylic acid ester monomer or its prepolymer having a molecular weight of about 200 to about 700 and 25 to 100% by weight of a difunctional acrylic-type carboxylic acid ester monomer or its prepolymer having a molecular weight of about 160 to about 400,(B) 0.

Abstract: A process for producing an elastomer-filler mixture optionally containing an extender oil, comprising the combined precipitation of a homogeneous mixture of a synthetic elastomer latex, produced by emulsion polymerization in an anionic emulsifier system, and an aqueous suspension of a silicic acid based filler, using an acid and, optionally, an electrolyte or other flocculant; separation of the precipitated mixture; and drying of the mixture; is improved in that the filler suspension contains 0.1-5% by weight, based on the amount of filler, of a copolymer of acrylamide and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate.
