The granted patent US11999841B2 outlines a thermoplastic resin composition designed for various applications, particularly in the automotive industry. The composition includes a combination of two propylene-ethylene copolymers with distinct melt indices, a thermoplastic elastomer featuring two elastomers with specified melt indices, an inorganic filler with an average particle diameter of 2 µm or less, and a sodium-phosphate-based nucleating agent. The first copolymer contains 6 wt % to 10 wt % ethylene, while the second copolymer is characterized by an impact strength of 60 J/m or more at room temperature and comprises 2 wt % to 5 wt % ethylene. The composition also specifies the mass ratio of the elastomers and lists various types of inorganic fillers and elastomers that can be utilized.
Additionally, the patent details the specific weight percentages for each component in the resin composition, which includes 40 wt % to 55 wt % of the first copolymer, 5 wt % to 10 wt % of the second copolymer, 15 wt % to 25 wt % of the thermoplastic elastomer, 22 wt % to 30 wt % of the inorganic filler, and 0.2 wt % to 2 wt % of the nucleating agent. The composition may also incorporate various additives such as antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, and processing lubricants. Furthermore, the patent claims the molded articles produced from this resin composition, particularly highlighting their use in automobile exterior materials, including side sill moldings, door moldings, and other components.
