AUTOMOBILE STEERING WHEEL

摘要

An automobile steering wheel having a facing made from a thermoplastic elastomer composition comprising (A) 10 to 50 pts. by wt. of a polyethylene resin and (B) 90 to 50 pts. by wt. of a block copolymer comprising (a) a styrene or styrene derivative polymer block and (b) an isoprene polymer or isoprenebutadiene copolymer block wherein the content of 3,4-bonded isoprene units is at least 40 % based on all the isoprene units and at least 97 % of the double bonds are hydrogenated (with the proviso that the total amount of the components (A) and (B) is 100 pts. by wt.). The wheel is characterized by having a facing made from an olefinic thermoplastic elastomer composition which is flexible, has a low specific gravity and excellent wear resistance, can be recycled, has good touch, and can be produced by injection molding.
