  • Patent number: 5777020
    Abstract: A thermoplastic resin composition comprising (A) a propylene/ethylene block copolymer, (B) a combination of a low-crystalline ethylene/butene random copolymer resin and an amorphous ethylene/butene random copolymer rubber, or a combination of an ethylene/octene copolymer rubber and an ethylene/propylene copolymer rubber, (C) a specific block elastomer, and (D) talc. This composition has good injection molding properties, can reveal excellent flexural modulus, heat resistance and surface hardness, and is suitable for producing such injection-molded products as interior automotive trims.

  • Patent number: 5374677
    Abstract: A thermoplastic polymer composition comprising: (i) 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic polymer component which comprises an ethylene-propylene rubber, an ethylene copolymer and a propylene polymer (including an ethylene-propylene block copolymer), and (ii) 0 to 7 parts by weight of talc, the thermoplastic polymer component being composed of, according to fractionation using o-dichlorobenzene as a solvent, component (A) which is a component soluble in the solvent at 40.degree. C., component (B) which is a component insoluble in the solvent at 40.degree. C. but soluble at 110.degree. C., and component (C) which is a component insoluble in the solvent even at 110.degree. C. in such a proportion that the total amount of the components (A) and (B) is from 50 to 70 parts by weight, the weight ratio of the component (A) to the component (B) being from 0.5 to 1.5, and the amount of the component (C) is from 50 to 30 parts by weight.
