Abstract

A composition of matter comprises 100-800 parts by weight polyethylenes and copolymers thereof having a melt index of 1-4 g/10 min., a density of 0.93-0.95 g/cc and a weight average molecular weight of 5-1.0.times.10.sup.5 ; 100-400 parts by weight polyethylenes having a melt index of 2-4 g/10 min., a density of 0.93-0.95 g/cc and a molecular weight of 6-20.times.10.sup.4 ; 0-100 parts by weight polypropylene having a melt index of 5-9 g/10 min. and a density of 0.8-1.2 g/cc; 0-150 parts by weight copolymer such as ethylene-propylene or ethylene-vinyl acetate; 0-100 parts by weight graphite or carbon black; 0.04-0.2 parts by weight antioxidant; and 0.1-2.0 parts by weight light stabilizer. A sealant is obtained by compression, extrusion or injection molding the composition described above. A polyethylene surface repair or reinforcing kit comprises the sealant or thermoplastic repair material of the invention, a thin, heat-resistant, adhesion-resistant barrier, and a polyethylene surface enzyme cleaner. A method of repairing or reinforcing a polyethylene surface comprises applying over an area of the surface in need of repair or reinforcement the sealant or thermoplastic repair mate…
