Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9719991A1] A molded or extruded article made from a propylene, alpha -olefin copolymer, where the alpha -olefin has 5 or more carbon atoms (higher alpha-olefins (HAO)), where the copolymer is made with a metallocene catalyst system, provides substantially higher cold flow resistance and resiliency than when the propylene copolymer contains an alpha -olefin of 4 or less carbon atoms. Other properties such as ultimate tensile strength and impact strength are substantially higher as well. Such polymers can be used to advantage in extruded profiles and molded parts either alone or in a thermoplastic olefin (TPO). Parts made from the propylene HAO copolymers or compounds made from them show improved creep resistance than propylene ethylene copolymers.
