INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPRISING A LAYER OF A THERMOPLASTIC COPOLYESTER ELASTOMER COMPOSITION

摘要

The invention relates to a process for making a moulded article comprising slush moulding of a thermoplastic copolyester elastomer composition, characterized in that a thermoplastic copolyester elastomer composition is used that contains as major component at least one copolyether ester consisting essentially of polyester hard segments that are built up from repeating units derived from at least one alkylene diol and at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid or an ester thereof and polyether soft segments derived from a poly(propylene oxide)diol. With the process according to the invention the moulded article can be easily removed from the mould without causing deformation of the article. Other advantages of the invention include the possibility to make an article with a skin of high homogeneity, very good performance at low temperature and high resistance to long-term heat ageing, and good adhesion to other materials. The invention also relates to a moulded article comprising a slush-moulded layer obtainable by the process according to the invention, like an automotive instrument panel.
