THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS MOLDABLE UNDER LOW SHEAR CONDITIONS

摘要

A thermoplastic elastomer compound of an acrylic-containing styrenic block copolymer and plasticizer oil have been found to be capable of sintering at a temperature ranging from about 180C to about 200C when the copolymer and the oil are in no more than a 2:1 weight ratio. The compound can be used in rotomolding or slush-molding equipment to make plastic articles having elastomeric properties.
