| Summary: | The present invention includes a composition comprising a propylene-alpha olefin copolymer having at least seventy weight percent units derived from propylene, and from ten to twenty five weight percent units derived from ethylene or a C4-C10 alpha olefin, the propylene-alpha olefin copolymer exhibiting a heat of fusion of less than 37 Joules/gram and a melt flow rate of from 0.1 to 100 gram/10 minutes; and a styrenic block copolymer, wherein the weight ratio of the propylene-alpha olefin copolymer to the styrenic block copolymer is from 3:7 to 7:3. The composition exhibits tensile modulus of less than 20 MPa, tensile strength of at least 5 MPa, and elongation at break of at least 900% with low relative immediate set. |
