Abstract
Abstract A heat-sealable composition containing 40-80 weight percent crystalline copolymers of ethylene and acrylic acid or methacrylic acid wherein the acid is present in the copolymer in amounts of from 5-15 weight percent, said acid being free of neutralizing metal ions; and 20-45 weight percent of an amorphous elastomeric copolymer of ethylene containing 20-60 weight percent propylene and, optionally, up to 10 weight percent of a nonconjugated diene.
