First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 : An acoustic damping composition comprising a propylene-based polyolefin, a tackifier, a filler and a stabilizer, wherein the density of the propylene-based polyolefin is in the range of 0.8 to 1.2 g/m 3 , preferably 0.8 to 1.0 g/m 3 , measured according to ASTM D1505, and the propylene content in the propylene-based polyolefin is more than 50 wt %, preferably more than 60 wt %, more preferably more than 70 wt %. 2 : The acoustic damping composition according to claim 1 , wherein the propylene-based polyolefin comprises a propylene-based elastomer, and optionally a propylene-based amorphous poly-α-olefin and/or a propylene-based plastomer, wherein the propylene-based elastomer has a Melt Flow Rate (MFR) of below 100 g/10 min, preferably below 50 g/10 min, measured at 230° C./2.16 kg according to ASTM D1238 and a density of below 0.88 g/m 3 measured according to ASTM D1505. 3 : The acoustic damping composition according to claim 2 , wherein the amorphous poly-α-olefin has a weight average molecular weight of no less than 1,000 g/mol, preferably 1,000 to 100,000 g/mol. 4 : The acoustic damping composition according to claim 2 , wherein the propylene-based plastomer has a density of greater than 0.88 g/m 3 , preferably >0.88 to 1.0 g/m 3 , measured according to ASTM D1505. 5 : The acoustic damping composition according to claim 2 , wherein the propylene-based elastomer is a metallocene-catalyzed elastomer. 6 : The acoustic damping composition according to claim 2 , wherein the propylene-based elastomer is selected from propylene copolymers where the one or more comonomers are selected from ethylene, butene, hexylene and octene or combinations thereof. 7 : The acoustic damping composition according to claim 2 , wherein the amorphous poly-α-olefin is selected from the group of propylene copolymers where the one or more comonomers are selected from ethylene, 1-butene, 1-hexylene and 1-octene or combinations thereof. 8 : The acoustic damping composition according to claim 2 , wherein the propylene-based plastomer is a propylene homopolymer or a copolymer of propylene monomers with one or more comonomers selected from ethylene, butene, hexylene and octene or combinations thereof. 9 : The acoustic damping composition according to claim 2 , wherein one or more functional groups selected from acrylic acid, acetate, sulfonate, maleic anhydride, fumaric acid and combinations thereof are included in the molecular backbone of the plastomer. 10 : The acoustic damping composition according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one filler is selected from the group consisting of graphite, mica, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, fiber fillers and magnetic particles or combinations thereof. 11 : The acoustic damping composition according to claim 1 , wherein the propylene-based polyolefin is present in the composition in a total amount of 10 to 80 wt %, preferably 10 to 60 wt. %, more preferably 15 to 35 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition. 12 : The acoustic damping composition according to claim 1 , wherein the filler is present in the composition in an amount of 5 to 70 wt %, preferably 15 to 70 wt %, more preferably 15 to 45 wt. % based on the total weight of the composition. 13 : The acoustic damping composition according to claim 1 , wherein the tackifier is present in the composition in an amount of 10 to 50 wt %, preferably 20 to 40 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition. 14 . (canceled) 15 : An article comprising the acoustic damping composition according to claim 1 .
