Abstract

The present invention is an improved block copolymer composition for extruding films having excellent stress relaxation and increased retained tension or load at elevated temperatures. The compound is comprised of:(a) from 52 to 60 percent by weight of a block copolymer having at least two polystyrene endblocks and a midblock of hydrogentated polymerized butadiene which has a vinyl content of 45 percent by weight or less(b) from 13 to 22 percent by weight of polystyrene, and(c) from 19 to 28 percent by weight of oil.
