In an embodiment, component A is or comprises a semi-crystalline polymer resin being at least one polyethylene resin.
The one or more following features can be used to further define component A being at least one polyethylene resin:
-
- the at least one polyethylene resin has a melt index MI2 ranging from 0.01 to 100 g/10 min as determined according to ISO 1133 at 190° C. under a load of 2.16 kg; preferably from 0.1 to 100 g/10 min and more preferably from 4 to 25 g/10 min; and/or
- the at least one polyethylene resin has a density ranging from 0.900 g/cm3 to 0.960 g/cm3 as determined according to ISO 1183 at a temperature of 23° C.; and/or
- the at least one polyethylene resin is selected from a polyethylene homopolymer, a copolymer of ethylene with one or more comonomers selected from C3-C20 alpha-olefins and any mixture thereof; and/or
- the at least one polyethylene resin is present in the composite material at a content ranging from 35 to 80 wt. % based on the total weight of the composite material; for example, from 38 to 78 wt. %; for example, from 40 to 75 wt. %; for example, from 45 to 70 wt. %; for example, from 50 to 65 wt. %; and/or
- the at least one polyethylene resin is selected from a virgin polyethylene resin, a post-consumer polyethylene resin and a blend of a virgin polyethylene resin and a post-consumer polyethylene resin; and/or
