Zusammenfassung:A thermoplastic olefin resin composition having improved resistance to surface impacts, such as scratching, marring and gouging, is provided. The thermoplastic olefin resin comprises a blend of polyolefin alloy and polyamide components. The components have relative melt flow rates such that the polyamide component is selectively segregated toward the front of a melt flow. A compatibilizing agent is added to overcome the natural incompatibility of the polyolefin alloy and polyamide components of the resin. The thermoplastic olefin resin may further include a filler material when increased stiffness or modulus is desired.
