Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A polymeric composition suitable for use in sight shields and automotive facia comprising (A) 50 to 80 parts by weight of a rubbery butadiene/styrene copolymer, (B) 20 to 50 parts by weight of an ethylene/propylene/nonconjugated diene terpolymer and (C) 15 to 50 parts by weight of a butadiene/styrene resin, all parts being by weight per 100 parts by weight of (A) plus (B) wherein the rubbery butadiene/styrene copolymer has a bound styrene content of from 5 to 50 weight percent and the butadiene/styrene resin has a bound styrene content of from 75 to 90 weight percent.
