A thermoplastic elastomeric molding composition processable into a useable elastomeric article is formed by admixing a vulcanizable or otherwise thermosetable elastomeric polymer with suitable quantities of filler materials, plasticizers, and processing aids. The composition is then molded or otherwise formed, without undergoing vulcanization, into a useful elastomeric article by conventional thermoplastic forming techniques such as, for example, molding, extruding, etc.

Thermoplastic elastomeric molding composition and articles molded

A process for producing thermoplastic, elastomeric articles such as, for example, semi-pneumatic tires, comprising the steps of admixing a thermoplastic, elastomeric molding composition including a vulcanizable or otherwise thermosetable elastomer, inert filler materials, a plasticizer and certain processing aids. The molding composition is then milled into a flat sheet, extruded into a tubular shape, cut, shaped and then molded at a temperature less than about 70.degree. F into thermoplastic elastomeric articles such as, for example, semi-pneumatic tires.
