Abstract

Abstract A homogeneous thermoplastic mixture comprising (A) from 85 to 99.5% by weight of a propylene-ethylene copolymer containing from 0.5 to 15% by weight of copolymerized ethylene units and having a melt index of from 1.0 to 30 g/min at 230° C. and under a load of 5 kg; and (B) from 0.5 to 15% by weight of a saturated diorganopolysiloxane having a viscosity of from 30,000 to 80,000 Cst at 20° C. The mixtures of the present invention are particularly suitable for the manufacture of elastic polypropylene based moulded articles which are dimensionally stable in heat.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 72 words
A homogeneous thermoplastic mixture comprising (A) from 85 to 99.5% by weight of a propylene-ethylene copolymer containing from 0.5 to 15% by weight of copolymerised ethylene units and having a melt index of from 1.0 to 30 g/min at 230° C. and under a load of 5 kg; and (B) from 0.5 to 15% by weight of a saturated diorganopolysiloxane having a viscosity of from 30,000 to 80,000 Cst at 20° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 72 words
A homogeneous thermoplastic mixture comprising (A) from 85 to 99.5% by weight of a propylene-ethylene copolymer containing from 0.5 to 15% by weight of copolymerised ethylene units and having a melt index of from 1.0 to 30 g/min at 230° C. and under a load of 5 kg; and (B) from 0.5 to 15% by weight of a saturated diorganopolysiloxane having a viscosity of from 30,000 to 80,000 Cst at 20° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 39 words
A homogeneous thermoplastic mixture as claimed in claim 1 wherein component (A) is present in an amount of from 90 to 99% by weight and component (B) is present in an amount of from 1 to 10% by weight.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 47 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim 14 words
A homogeneous thermoplastic mixture as claimed in claim 4 wherein the dialkylpolysiloxane is dimethylpolysiloxane.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 25 words
