The present invention relates to plasticized polyolefin compositions
comprising a polyolefin and a non-functionalized plasticizer; wherein the
non-functionalized plasticizer may comprise C.sub.6 to C.sub.200
paraffins (including branched and normal paraffins) having a pour point
of less than -5.degree. C. In one embodiment, the non-functionalized
plasticizer is an isoparaffin comprising C.sub.6 to C.sub.25
isoparaffins. In another embodiment the non-functionalized plasticizer is
a polyalphaolefin comprising C.sub.10 to C.sub.100 n-paraffins. The
polyolefin may be a polypropylene homopolymer, copolymer, impact
copolymer, or blends thereof, and may include a plastomer. Non-limiting
examples of desirable article of manufacture made from compositions of
the invention include films, tubes, pipes, sheets, fibers, woven and
nonwoven fabrics, automotive components, furniture, sporting equipment,
food storage containers, transparent and semi-transparent articles, toys,
tubing and pipes, and medical devices.
