A damping resin composition contains: 100 parts by weight of a polymer blend of 40 to 70% by weight of a polypropylene resin and 30 to 60% by weight of a thermoplastic elastomer; and 5 to 60 parts by weight of an inorganic filler, the thermoplastic elastomer comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of an elastomer having a Tg of 0&deg; C. to 20&deg; C. and an elastomer having a Tg of &minus;20&deg; C. to 0&deg; C. and an ethylene-&agr;-olefin copolymer. Using this damping resin compostion, a vehicle rocker-panel molding, which is attached to the lower part of a vehicle side body is molded. The rocker-panel molding has a bottom section and a side section substantially perpendicular to the bottom section and having prescribed rigidity, showing a nearly L-shaped crosswise profile, in which the bottom section is thinner than the side section so that vibration energy generated on foreign matter's striking against the rocker-panel molding is forcibly converted to heat energy by the thinner bottom section thereby to suppress transmission of noise to the space of the automobile.

To provide a method for producing a molded crystalline resin article which enables a higher crystallization degree and to mass-produce the molded crystalline resin articles. The method comprises molding a molded resin article from a thermoplastic resin containing a crystalline resin followed by performing a heating process to obtain a molded crystalline resin article having a surface layer whose crystallization index is 0.9 or higher when determined by IR spectrometry. It is preferable that the temperature of the heating process is within the range of 20&deg; C. lower than the crystallization temperature of the molded resin article to 30&deg; C. higher than the crystalline temperature, and that the crystalline resin is a polypropylene resin.

Method for producing molded crystalline resin article

The present invention is directed to a molded resin product and resin composition form making the same. The molded resin product includes at least one thick wall portion, at least one thin wall portion, and at least one thickness changing portion extending between the thick wall portion and the thin wall portion. The resin composition being used for forming the molded resin product includes 0.01-0.1 part by weight of a delustering agent and 100 parts by weight of blend components comprising: 30-50% by weight of a polypropylene block copolymer containing 4-20% by weight of ethylene, 0-10% by weight of polyethylene, 5-15% by weight of a propylene/butene copolymer, and 40-60% by weight of an ethylene/&agr;-olefin copolymer rubber.

A glitter resin molded material provided having a glitter feel which is equivalent of a coated material. This glitter resin molded material comprises a skin layer molded to a surface of a core layer wherein the core layer contains a color pigment and a synthetic resin and the skin layer contains a glitter material, color pigment and a synthetic resin. The skin layer has a value of CR (Contrast Ratio) of less than 99% therein.

Glitter resin molded material

A resin composition is disclosed, comprising a thermoplastic resin and a brightening agent, wherein the brightening agent is a scaly brightening agent having an average particle size of from 10 to less than 20 .mu.m and is added in an amount of of from 1 to 8 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin; or the brightenng agent is a scaly brightening agent having an average particle size of from 20 to 50 .mu.m and is added in an amount satisfying the relationship S.ltoreq.5A+15 (wherein S is the average particle size thereof (.mu.m) and A is the addition amount (parts by weight) of the brightening agent per 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin). The resin composition and the resin molded product obtained therefrom give an excellent bright-feeling because the decrease of appearance quality caused by the extraordinary orientation of a scaly brightening agent is minimized.

A door lower molding that has a main body molded of a synthetic resin by extrusion. The main body is fixed along a lower end of a door of a vehicle. The main body has a seal lip extended thereon, which closely contacts a rocker molding of the vehicle body when the door is closed. A core made of a synthetic resin is embedded in the main body. The seal lip may be covered on its outer side with a skin which has a flaw resistance characteristic and on its inner side with a sealing layer including silicone to prevent freeze-sticking to the vehicle body.

Door lower molding

A process for dimensionally stabilizing an article molded from a synthetic resin material, such as PVC. The molded article is subjected to a first cooling treatment to cool the article at a temperature lower than the glass transition temperature Tg of the synthetic resin followed by a heating treatment at a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature Tg and then is subjected to a second cooling treatment again at a temperature lower than the glass transition temperature Tg. Following such treatment steps, the molded article, such as side molding for automobiles, have less variation in dimensions and less shrinkage after molding in use.

Process for producing molded article of continuous length

A boot for an automobile comprises two terminal annular parts and a barrel part intervening between the two terminal annular parts. This boot is obtained by injection molding a flexible PVC material. The flexible PVC material of one type (I) is composed of a polymer component and a plasticizer, which polymer component is obtained by blending high polymerization degree and low polymerization degree PVC's respectively having an average polymerization degree in specific ranges, with the mixing ratio of the two PVC's being in a specific range. The flexible PVC material of the other type (II) is composed of a polymer component and a plasticizer, which polymer component is obtained by blending a cross-linked resin having a non-gel component average polymerization degree and a cross-linking degree in respectively specific ranges with a non-cross-linked resin having an average polymerization degree in a specific range, with the mixing ratio of the two PVC's in a fixed range. The boot formed of the material of Group I or II incurs no layer separation even after a heat resisting test and induces no bleeding even after a light resisting test. The boot formed of the material of Group II acquires delustered appearance even when the metal die has not been treated by honing in advance.
