Abstract

An injection-moldable, peroxide crosslinkable elastomeric composition comprises a mixture of a crystalline interpolymer comprising ethylene and propylene; a low density polyethylene; one or more multifunctional vinylic or allylic monomers; a medium to high structure form of carbon; and an organic peroxide. The composition is particularly useful for the fabrication of injection molded structures which are required to flex on impact and return to their original shape when the distorting force is released. Typical structures are automotive fender extensions, grilles and front and rear fascia.
