Abstract:
A composition comprising:(a) from about 85 to about 99 weight percent based on the total weight of the composition of a component selected from the group consisting of a homopolymer of ethylene, an ethylene alpha olefin copolymer, an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, and mixtures thereof, wherein the component has a density no greater than 0.94 g/cc; and(b) from about 1 to about 15 weight percent, based on the total weight of the composition, of a propylene polymer comprising 0 to less than about 1 weight percent based on the polymer, of an olefin comonomer unit having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and from about greater than 99 to 100 weight percent propylene based on the polymer, wherein the propylene polymer has a Brookfield Thermosel viscosity of about 1 to about 2,000 mPa.s at 190.degree. C. and a needle penetration of about 5 to 50 dmm, determined according to ASTM, at 23.degree. C.
