Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to compositions comprising: (a) a propylene-based elastomer, comprising at least about 60 wt% propylene-derived units and about 5 to about 25 wt% ethylene-derived units, based on total weight of the propylene-based elastomer, wherein the propylene-based elastomer has a heat of fusion of less than about 80 J/g; and (b) a polyalphaolefin. Such compositions have at least one of the following properties: (a) a hardness of about 25 to about 67 shore A (ASTM D2240); (b) a glass transition temperature of about -35°C to about -65°C (ASTM D3418-08, 10°C/min); and (c) an impact resistance at a temperature no lower than about -40°C (ASTM D3763).
Abstract:
An elastomeric composition is provided that includes from 1 to 100 parts by weight per hundred parts by weight rubber (phr) of a first propylene-α-olefin-diene (PEDM) terpolymer comprising 70 wt% to 92.5 wt% propylene, 7.5 wt% to 30 wt% a C2 or C4-C12 α-olefin, and 3.5 wt% to 20 wt% diene, said wt% based on the weight of the PEDM terpolymer. The the PEDM terpolymer may have a Mooney viscosity (ML(1+4)) of 25 MU to 100 MU. The composition may further include from 0 to 99 phr of an ethylene -based copolymer comprising 40 wt% to 95 wt% ethylene.

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.
