Abstract
Abstract A thermoplastic composite composition comprising I. about 95 to about 30 percent by weight of a thermoplastic material and Ii. about 5 to about 70 percent by weight of a polyolefin composition comprising A. about 15 to about 60 percent by weight of a polyolefin and B. about 85 to about 40 percent by weight of at least one reactive inorganic filler, Said reactive inorganic filler having been prepared by effecting reaction between A. an inorganic material substantially comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of metal carbonates, metal hydroxides and metal oxides, said metal being selected from the group consisting of beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, zinc, cadmium and aluminum, said compound having a number average particle diameter of from about 0.01 μ. to about 50 μ. and a maximum particle diameter of about 100 μ., and B. at least one unsaturated aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acid having from 3 to 11 carbon atoms, one or two ethylenic unsaturations, one or two carboxyl groups, the proportion of said unsaturated aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acid being from about 0.05 to 20 percent by weight of the total weight of said inorganic material, With stirring in the absence of liquid-form water in the powder state of said inorganic material at a temperature up to the temperature at which said aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acid begins to decompose.
