Compositions comprising (i) a crystalline, isotactic propylene
homopolymer, (ii) an ethylene/.alpha.-olefin elastomeric impact modifier,
and (iii) a reinforcing grade of filler, for example, talc. The
crystalline isotactic propylene homopolymer has a flex modulus of greater
than about 1930 MPa and a heat deflection temperature (HDT) of greater
than about 100.degree. C.; the ethylene/.alpha.-olefin interpolymer has a
Tg of less than about -30.degree. C., and a tan delta measured at 0.1
radians/s at 190.degree. C. of less than about 2; and the filler has a
HDT reinforcing efficiency of at least about 2. The composition has an
HDT of greater than about 100.degree. C. and a flex modulus of greater
than about 1930 MPa.
