Abstract:
1. An injection molded article comprising a polymer composition comprising: a. a polypropylene component, wherein the polypropylene component has a Tm of 120° C. or more and a heat of fusion of greater than 50 J/g, and is present in an amount from about 50 to about 95 weight percent, based upon the combined weight of the polypropylene component, the second polymer component, and the third polymer component; b. a second polymer component, wherein the second polymer component is present in an amount from about 10 to about 40 weight percent, based upon the combined weight of the polypropylene component, the second polymer component, and the third polymer component, wherein the second polymer component is a BCD blend of at least 30 wt %, based upon the weight of the second polymer component, of at least, a first ssPE component having a density of greater than 0.940 g/cm c. a third polymer component, wherein the third polymer component is present in an amount from about 1 to about 10 weight percent, based upon the combined weight of the polypropylene component, the second polymer component, and the third polymer component, and wherein the polymer composition has: (i) an MFR (230° C., 2.16 kg) of 10 to 100 dg/min, (ii) a 1% Secant Flexural Modulus of 900 to 3500 MPa, (iii) a yield strength of at least 25 MPa, (iv) a Notched Izod Impact Resilience at −18° C. of at least about 30 N, and (v) an elongation at break of 500% or more.
