Abstract:
A thermoplastic composition comprising a polyvinyl chloride resin, an external plasticizer, a polyolefin selected from the group consisting of (i) a copolymer of ethylene and 1-octene, wherein said copolymer is a metallocene-catalyzed polymerization product of ethylene and 1-octene, (ii) a copolymer of ethylene and 1-butene, and (iii) a copolymer of ethylene, propylene and a non-conjugated diene monomer, and a compatibilizer selected from the group consisting of chlorinated polyolefins, polyolefin-polyurethane graft copolymers, hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene-polyester tetrablock copolymers, and hydrogenated styrene-isoprene-styrene-polyester tetrablock copolymers, wherein the thermoplastic composition includes from about 5 to about 31 parts compatibilizer per 100 parts of the polyvinyl chloride and the external plasticizer combined.
