Patent ID: 8541502

Claim:
A polyolefin compound comprising: A) at least one thermoplastic olefin copolymer comprising the reaction product of olefin 1 and olefin 2, wherein: olefin 1 is a C 2 based olefin and olefin 2 is a C 3 to C 8 α-olefin; or olefin 1 is a C 3 based olefin and olefin 2 is a C 4 to C 8 α-olefin; B) at least one functional polymer, the functional polymer content in the polyolefin compound being between 1 and 75 weight percent of the combined components A and B; C) at least one thermoplastic olefin homopolymer, wherein the olefin homopolymer forms a dispersed phase; wherein the thermoplastic olefin copolymer and the functional polymer form a continuous phase; wherein: a) an I2 melt index of the polyolefin compound is from about 1 to about 15 g/10 min as measured using ASTM D1238 at 190° C.; b) a Shore A hardness of the polyolefin compound is from about 55 to about 100 as measured using ASTM D2240; c) a flexural modulus of the polyolefin compound is from about 0.8 to about 30 kpsi as measured using ASTM D790.
