DURABLE AND LOW FRICTION THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMER COMPOSITIONS

摘要

A thermoplastic elastomer composition is disclosed, comprising at least one thermoplastic elastomer, a minor amount of at least one high molecular weight polydialkylsiloxane, and a minor amount of at least one fluoropolymer. Compositions of the invention have improved durability by virtue of their improved resistance to scratching and marring. Further, compositions of the invention are beneficially low friction as evidenced by a reduced coefficient of friction as compared to unmodified thermoplastic elastomers.
