A normally solid thermoplastic material having a low softening point containing at least one metal salt of a metal selected from the group consisting of a metal of Group I, II, III or IV of the Periodic Table and a fatty acid having about 8 to about 30 carbon atoms per molecule and a silicone compound incorporated into or onto the thermoplastic material, the metal salt and the silicone compound being present in amounts sufficient to significantly reduce blocking between contact surfaces of the thermoplastic material and a lubricating composition containing the thermoplastic material. |
