A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11999841B2) discloses a thermoplastic resin composition designed for various applications, including automobile exterior materials. The composition comprises specific propylene-ethylene copolymers, thermoplastic elastomers, inorganic fillers, and a sodium-phosphate-based nucleating agent. The copolymers and elastomers have defined melt indices and ethylene content, ensuring desired properties like impact strength and processing characteristics. The inorganic filler, with a controlled particle size and aspect ratio, enhances the composition's mechanical properties. Additionally, the sodium-phosphate-based nucleating agent aids in nucleation, improving the material's crystallization behavior.
Furthermore, the patent details the specific ratios of each component in the thermoplastic resin composition, ranging from the copolymers to the nucleating agent, along with optional additives like antioxidants and UV absorbers. The composition's formulation allows for the production of molded articles suitable for various automobile exterior components such as side sill moldings, fender moldings, and roof racks. By utilizing this patented composition, manufacturers can achieve a balance of mechanical strength, processability, and aesthetic appeal in their molded products, catering to the demanding requirements of the automotive industry.
