This invention relates to a polymer article prepared by the process comprising the steps of: (1) blending polymer composition comprising (A) at least one ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, (B) at least one propylene ethylene copolymer, and (C) (1) from about 0.01 % to about 5 % by weight of a cross-linking agent, (2) from about 0.1 % to about 35 % by weight of one or more polymers selected from: (i) at least one co-, or terpolymer of at least one vinyl aromatic compound; (ii) at least one co-, or terpolymer of an alpha-olefin, and at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of an acrylic acid, an acrylic ester, a vinyl silane, and a vinyl alcohol; (iii) at least one polyolefin other than a propylene homopolymer or a propylene - ethylene copolymer; (iv) at least one polyetheramide block copolymer; (v) at least one ionomer; (vi) at least one oxidized polyolefin wax, or mixtures of (1) or (2); and forming the polymer composition into the article. The polymer articles are radio frequency weldable and can be used to form a variety of products such as bags, pouches, tubing, closures, and medical devices. |
