Zusammenfassung:g Compositions for injection-molding of long, thin-walled, one-piece squeeze tubes include low-density polyethylene having a density less than about 0.925 g/cc and a melt index of at least about 50 g/10 minutes, and polypropylene having a high melt index greater than about 800 g/10 minutes, wherein the high melt index is attained by peroxide degradation of the polypropylene during melt processing. The compositions can also include a polymer that is miscible and compatible with low-density polyethylene and polypropylene for enhancing flow of the molding composition in the mold, the polymer having a glass transition temperature Tof about −20 to −40° C., and/or metallocene resin having a density less than about 0.915 g/cc.
