Abstract
This invention relates to polyolefin alloys that are receptive to metal plating. These compositions also have enhanced properties and are easily processed into articles by various molding methods. The blends of the invention preferably include polyolefin homopolymers or copolymers, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymers, and styrenic block copolymers. These blends have excellent platability and superior physical properties including enhanced rigidity, thoughness, and dimensional stability.
