Abstract
Abstract Compositions of matter useful in the preparation of film which is soft and has high tensile, tear and impact strength. The compositions comprise polyolefin plastics blended with an elastomeric plasticizer; the latter comprises polyethylene or a copolymer of ethylene and an unsaturated ester of a lower carboxylic acid, olefinic elastomer and hydrocarbon oil.
