Blends of polypropylene impact copolymer with other polymers

A process for making a blown film comprising:

• blending at least one broad molecular weight distribution ethylene/propylene rubber impact-modified heterophasic copolymer (ICP) with from about 5 to about 95 wt % of at least one second polyolefin, where the second polyolefin is selected from the group consisting of a syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP), a medium density polyethylene (MDPE), a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), a low crystalline copolymer of propylene/α-olefin, and a random copolymer (RCP) of propylene and comonomer selected from the group consisting of ethylene and butenes,
• where the RCP is made using a Ziegler-Natta or metallocene catalyst;
• feeding the polymer blend to an extruder;
• extruding the polymer blend through an annular die to form a molten tube;
• and
• blowing the tube into a bubble using air to form a blown film structure.

A process for making a multilayer film or sheet material comprising co-extruding two resins together where one of the resins is a resin blend comprising:

• at least one broad molecular weight distribution ethylene/propylene rubber impact-modified heterophasic copolymer (ICP), and
• from about 5 to about 95 wt % of at least one second polyolefin, where the second polyolefin is selected from the group consisting of
• a syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP),
• a medium density polyethylene (MDPE),
• a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE),
• low crystalline copolymer of propylene/α-olefin, and
• a random copolymer (RCP) of propylene and comonomer selected from the group consisting of ethylene and butenes, where the RCP is made using a Ziegler-Natta or metallocene catalyst,

A process for making a laminated article having at least two layers comprising:

• blending at least one broad molecular weight distribution ethylene/propylene rubber impact-modified heterophasic copolymer (ICP) with from about 5 to about 90 wt % of at least one second polyolefin, where the second polyolefin is selected from the group consisting of a syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP), a medium density polyethylene (MDPE), a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), a low crystalline copolymer of propylene/α-olefin, and a random copolymer (RCP) of propylene and comonomer selected from the group consisting of ethylene and butenes, where the RCP is made using a Ziegler-Natta or metallocene catalyst;
• feeding the polymer blend to an extruder;
• extruding the polymer blend through a die to form a first film or sheet material;
• and
• adhering the first film or sheet material to at least one second film or sheet material.
