Abstract

A compatible polymer blend containing a polyacetal, a hydroxylated polyacetal, polypropylene, and an acid-grafted polyolefine such as a muconic acid-polypropylene graft copolymer. The polyacetal is preferably a polyoxymethylene polymer such as Celcon.RTM.. The preferred hydroxylated polyacetal is one having a structure very similar to the polyacetal. The invention also includes a process for forming a compatible blend containing polypropylene and polyacetal by melt mixing polypropylene and polyacetal with an acid grafted polyolefin and hydroxylated polyacetal.
