Abstract

Abstract Polyolefin compositions comprising one or more crystalline polymers or copolymers of 1-olefins having Melt Index values higher that 20 g/10 min, and, dispersed in the above mentioned polymers or copolymers, a cellulosic material in the form of particles or fiber, as well as the process for the preparation of the above mentioned compositions in pelletized form and their conversion into products by way of injection molding.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 104 words
A polyolefin composition consisting essentially of (a) a polymer material selected from the group consisting of crystalline polymers and copolymers of 1-olefins, linear or branched, containing 2-10 carbon atoms, the melt flow index (ASTM D 1238, Condition L) of which is 25-1000 g/10 min., (b) 0.1 to 10% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the composition, of polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride as a compatibilizing agent, and (c) wood powder, the bulk density of which is 0.05-0.3 g/cm 3 , and the particles of which have average dimensions of 0.01-5 mm, at a concentration of 10-70% by weight of the composition.
