Abstract
A polymer composition that includes from 0.1 to 60 percent by weight of interpolymer resin particles containing a styrenic polymer intercalated within a polyolefin and from 40 to 99.9 percent by weight of at least one second polymer. The polyolefin is present at from 20% to 80% by weight based on the weight of the particles, has a VICAT softening temperature greater than 60° C. and a melt index of from 0.3 to 15 g/10 minutes (190° C./2.16 kg). The styrenic polymer is present at from 20% to 80% by weight based on the weight of the particles. The interpolymer resin particles have a gel content ranging from 0 to 5% by weight based on the weight of said interpolymer resin particles, a VICAT softening temperature ranging from 85° C. to 115° C., and a melt index value ranging from 0.1 to 6.0 (230° C./5.0 kg).
