LLDPE and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer thermoplastic blend

1. A thermoplastic composition consisting of:

(a) at least two ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers in an amount of about 1 to about 50 wt %, said at least two ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers selected from the group consisting of:

(i) a first ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer having a first melt index in the range of from about 1 to about 10 g/10 min and consisting of copolymerized ethylene and a first content of copolymerized vinyl acetate comonomer in an amount of about 25 to about 35 wt % based on the total weight of the first ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer; and

(ii) a second ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer having a second melt index in the range of about 38 to about 48 g/10 min and consisting of copolymerized ethylene and a second content of copolymerized vinyl acetate comonomer in an amount of about 30 to about 35 wt %, based on the total weight of the second ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer;

wherein the at least two ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers comprise at least one first ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer and at least one second ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer;

(b) at least one linear low-density polyethylene in an amount of about 10 to about 20 wt %; and

(c) at least one filler in an amount of about 40 to about 80 wt %;

wherein the amounts of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers, linear low-density polyethylene and filler are weight percentages (wt %) based on the total weight of the thermoplastic composition.

11. The article of claim 10 , wherein the sound-deadening structure comprises a carpet having a backing, and the backing of the carpet is at least partially coated with the thermoplastic composition.

12. The article of claim 10 , wherein the sound-deadening structure comprises a sheet, a drape, or a hanging.

13. The article of claim 12 , wherein the sheet is coated onto a fabric.

14. A vehicle wherein a side panel, a door, a door panel, a truck liner, a rear seat strainer, a wheel well cover, a carpet underlayment, a dash mat, an oil pan, a disc brake pad, a mufflers, a roofing area, a headliner or a dash insulator comprises an article of claim 12 .

15. The article of claim 10 , selected from the group consisting of a dishwasher, a refrigerator, an air conditioners, a blender housing, a power tool, a vacuum cleaning machine, a leaf blower, a snow blower, a lawn mower, a small engines, a device for modifying the sound of a drum, a loudspeaker system, or an acoustically damped disc drive system, a wallpaper, a wall covering, a composite sound wall, a thermoformable acoustical mat, a vibration-damping constrained-layer construction, a sound insulation moldable carpets, a dividing panel for an open-format office, a wire or cable, a molded part, a sealant and a caulk.

16. The article of claim 9 , being a sheet or a film.
