Air bag housing pad cover and production thereof

摘要

An air bag housing pad cover which is light in weight and soft to the touch and opens in case of crash with certainty over a broad temperature range. A method of producing the air bag housing pad cover efficiently in high yields from a compound composed of a thermoplastic elastomer and a light filler in an amount of 5 to 50 vol % of the compound, the former having a tensile strength higher than 100 kg/cm2 and a Shore indentation hardness lower than 55 D, and the latter having a true specific gravity lower than 0.7 and a compression strength higher than 50 kg/cm2.
