  • Patent number: 6015626
    Abstract: Described is a weather-resistant, plasticizer-free, deep-drawable film based on a semicrystalline ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymer and a homo- and/or copolymer of an alkene plus stabilizers and optional fillers, lubricants, pigments, and other ordinary additives. This film is characterized by the fact that the mixture of the semicrystalline ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymer and the homo- and/or copolymer of the alkene contains:70-30 wt % semicrystalline ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymer (A) with approximately 56-76 wt % ethylene, approximately 15-30 wt % propylene, and approximately 9-14 wt % third component,while the terpolymer (A) has a melt-flow index MFI (230/2, 16) of approximately 5-15.0 g/10 min,and 70-30 wt % homo- and/or copolymer (B) of ethylene and/or propylene,while the homo- and/or copolymer has a melt-flow index MFI (230/2, 16) greater than 2.5 g/10 min. This film is especially suited for the interior covering and fittings of motor vehicles.

  • Patent number: 5717020
    Abstract: A film and molded article are described, consisting of a thermoplastic based on a partially crystalline ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer, a homo- and/or copolymer of an alkene, and a polymeric modifying agent, wherein the plastic possibly contains stabilizers, fillers, lubricants, colorants, and flame retardants, as well as conventional additives.

  • Patent number: 5241004
    Abstract: A sheet or a molded object is described, which is made of a thermoplastic material comprising a polyurethane, a modified polymer and, optionally, conventional additives. This thermoplastic material thus comprises component A in the form of the thermoplastic polyurethane, the polyvinyl acetate in the form of polyvinyl acetate as well as, as flow modifier, the component C in the form of a further thermoplastic material, an elastomer-modified thermoplastic material or a rubber or combinations thereof. This material has about 10 to 35 parts by weight of polyvinyl acetate and about 1 to 50 parts by weight of component C per about 100 parts by weight of component A. The material advantageously shows an improved melt strength. When this material is calendered, no interfering sticking effects occur.
