Abstract

The invention relates to automotive parts comprising at least one component formed from an ethylene/α-olefin composition containing at least one ethylene/α-olefin random interpolymer and at least one polydiene diol-based polyurethane, and where the at least one ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer has a PRR from −6 to 75, and a density less than, or equal to, 0.93 g/cc.

Claims (12)

1 . An automotive part, comprising at least one component prepared from a composition comprising at least one ethylene/α-olefin random interpolymer and at least one polydiene diol-based polyurethane, and wherein the at least one ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer has a PRR from −6 to 70, and a density less than, or equal to, 0.93 g/cc.

2 . The automotive part of claim 1 , wherein the part is an automotive interior part.

3 . The automotive part of claim 1 , wherein the part is an instrument panel skin.

4 . The automotive part of claim 1 , wherein the part is a door panel skin.

5 . The automotive part of claim 1 , wherein the part is a foamed laminated sheet.

6 . An automotive interior part, comprising a film, said film comprising at least two layers or plies, and wherein at least one layer or ply is formed from the composition of claim 1 .

7 . An instrument panel, comprising a film, said film comprising at least two layers or plies, and wherein at least one layer or ply is formed from the composition of claim 1 .

8 . A door panel, comprising a film, said film comprising at least two layers or plies, and wherein at least one layer or ply is formed from the composition of claim 1 .

9 . An interior automotive part comprising at least one component formed from the following: (a) a film comprising at least two layers or plies, and wherein at least one layer or ply is formed from the composition of claim 1 , and (b) a polyurethane foam.

10 . The part of claim 9 , wherein the film is adhered to a surface of the polyurethane foam.

11 . An instrument panel comprising the part of claim 10 .

12 . The part of claim 10 , wherein the adhesion between the film and the polyurethane foam is stronger than the adhesion between the foam and another film, prepared from a composition comprising the same components of the film, except the polydiene diol-based polyurethane.
