More Information
Summary:Polymer compositions having thermoplastic and elastomeric features are provided. These polymer compositions, which are also characterized by superior compatibility with water-based and solvent-based adhesives, comprise at least one thermoplastic elastomer and at least one maleated ethylene copolymer. The compositions of the invention are useful in articles of manufacture that require flexibility and are fabricated with adhesives, including sporting goods, and particularly athletic shoes.
