  • Terpolymer compositions with improved clarity and gloss for blow molded and thermoformed articles
    Patent number: 11015039
    Abstract: A polymer composition and/or an article containing: (a) a random propylene terpolymer which comprises: (i) 90.0-96.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the propylene terpolymer, of propylene derived units; (ii) 3.0-7.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the propylene terpolymer, of 1-butene derived units; and (iii) 1.0-5.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the propylene terpolymer, of ethylene derived units; and (b) about 0.01 to about 1.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the propylene terpolymer, of a clarifying agent, with the balance of the polymer composition being the random propylene terpolymer and/or optionally at least one additive.
