The invention relates to a thermoplastic membrane (e.g. film, fluid barrier,
and the like) which is formed from a blend of:
a) a first polymer component (FPC), wherein said FPC comprises a propylene-ethylene
copolymer containing from 80 to 93 percent by weight of units derived from propylene,
and having a melting point derived from stereoregular polypropylene sequences,
as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), in the range of from
25 C. to 70 C., and a heat of fusion of from 2 J/g to 25 J/g;
b) an inorganic filler;
c) a processing oil, and
d) optionally, a second polymer component (SPC), wherein said SPC is a stereoregular
polypropylene containing less than 7 percent by weight of units derived from ethylene
or alpha-olefin monomer containing from 4 to 8 carbon atoms and having melting
point, as determined by DSC, greater than 130 C., and a heat of fusion greater
than 80 J/g.
