Abstract:

A polymeric material suitable for fabrication into an article and particularly a polymeric material suitable for fabrication into an article suitable for receiving paint is provided. The polymeric material may be a blend of impact copolymer and plastomer. The impact copolymer includes between 95 and 78 wt % homopolypropylene and between 5 and 22 wt % of ethylene-propylene rubber, wherein ethylene propylene rubber may have less than about 50 wt % ethylene. The plastomer may be an ethylene/hexene plastomer. The ethylene/hexene plastomer may have a density in the range from 0. 88 to 0. 915 g/cc and a melt index (dg/min) from 0. 8 to 10. The impact copolymer may be present in the blend in a range of 95 to 70 wt % and the ethylene/hexene plastomer may be present in the blend in a range from 5 to 30 wt %. The propylene, ethylene and hexene components may be present in the blend in respective ranges of 73. 2 to 84. 2 wt %, 14. 3 to 23.
