Patent ID: 7632887

Claim:
A plasticized polyolefin composition comprising from 99 wt % to 60 wt % polyolefin; and from 1 wt% to 40 wt% of a non-functionalized plasticizer; wherein the non-functionalized plasticizer comprises C 6 to C 200 paraffins having a pour point of less than −30° C. and a Kinematic viscosity of from 10 cSt to 500 cSt at 100° C. and wherein elastomers are substantially absent from the composition, and wherein the polyolefin is polypropylene, homopolymer having a melt flow rate of from 0.1 to 2500 dg/min or propylene copolymer having up to 0.1 to 30 wt % of a comonomer selected from the group consisting of ethylene and C4 to C20 alpha-olefins, said copolymer having a melt flow rate of from 0.1 to 2500 dg/min, and wherein polyethylene homopolymer and copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of from 500 to 10,000 is substantially absent from the composition.
