Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to foam beads of an elastomeric composition comprising a propylene-based elastomer. The foam bead has a density of less than 0.5 g/cm3. The foam beads can be made from pellets of elastomeric compositions by expanding with supercritical fluid blowing agent. The foamed bead has reduced lightness while maintaining elasticity.
Abstract:
Provided herein are membranes including a blend of a propylene-based elastomer and an ethylene copolymer, a thermoplastic resin, a flame retardant, and an ultraviolet stabilizer.

Abstract:
A polymer blend comprising 10 to 90 parts by weight of a propylene-based polymer component having a weight average molecular weight of at least 200 kg·mol−1; and 20 to 80 parts by weight of a propylene-based elastomer component comprising structural units derived from propylene and at least one of ethylene and C4-C12 alpha-olefins having a weight average molecular weight in the range from 5 to 50 kg·mol−1, method for making a membrane comprising the same and roofing membrane comprising the same. The polymer blend is particularly suitable for making roofing membrane due to advantageous elastic modulus in broad temperature ranges.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to modified high density polyethylene, foamable compositions and foam or foamed articles made therefrom. The invention also relates to processes to make the same.
Abstract:
Provided herein are roofing membranes that comprise a blend composition of propylene-based elastomer, thermoplastic resin, flame retardant, and ultraviolet stabilizer. In some embodiments, the blend compositions further comprise polyalphaolefin.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a composition comprising a thermoplastic vulcanizate, a propylene-based elastomer and a foaming agent, and to a foamed material comprising said composition. The foamed material has increased tensile properties and tension set while attaining comparable effects of reduction of weight.
