Claim 1
Independent Claim 68 words
A thermoplastic resin composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a resin composition (D) and 2 to 30 parts by weight of a copolymer (C) containing epoxy groups, said resin composition (D) being composed of 50 to 90 wt % of a polypropylene resin (A) which is a modified polypropylene with or without an unmodified polypropylene, and 50 to 10 wt % of a saturated polyester resin (B).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 68 words
A thermoplastic resin composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a resin composition (D) and 2 to 30 parts by weight of a copolymer (C) containing epoxy groups, said resin composition (D) being composed of 50 to 90 wt % of a polypropylene resin (A) which is a modified polypropylene with or without an unmodified polypropylene, and 50 to 10 wt % of a saturated polyester resin (B).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 43 words
A thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 wherein the resin composition (D) is composed of 60 to 80 wt % of (A) and 40 to 20 wt % of (B), and (C) is present in amount 3 to 20 parts by weight.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 28 words
