GRIP ELEMENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a grip element configured for assembly over at least a portion of an article to cushion at least the fingers of a user. The grip element includes a foam comprising (1) a copolymer having repeat units derived from a nitrile-containing monomer and a diene monomer and (2) a plasticizer to plasticize said foam, said foam being essentially free of (1) vinyl chloride and (2) phthalate plasticizers. Said foam is compressible and deformable in response to application of gripping pressure thereto.
