An oil resistant polymer composition is disclosed that contains a thermoplastic elastomer combined with an olefin and vinyl acetate copolymer on an oleophobic agent. In one embodiment, the composition contains a thermoplastic polyester elastomer combined with an ethylene and vinyl acetate copolymer. In order to render the polymer composition oil resistant, the polymer composition can further contain an UHMW silicone, a fluoropolymer, and optionally a crosslinking agent and/or an antiplasticizer.

Elastomeric composition having oil resistance

Ski boots and other cold weather articles are described made from polymer compositions that are exceptionally stable at low temperatures. The polymer composition, for instance, may contain a thermoplastic polymer, a thermoplastic elastomer, and an impact modifier. In one embodiment, each of the individual components are selected such that they do not undergo a second order transition within a temperature range of from about 50&#xb0; C. to about &#x2212;40&#xb0; C., and particularly from about 23&#xb0; C. to about &#x2212;40&#xb0; C. In one embodiment, the polymer compositions are used to mold the outer shell of a snow ski boot.

Molded polymer articles for use in low temperatures having a low rigidity factor

Ski boots and other cold weather articles are described made from polymer compositions that are exceptionally stable at low temperatures. The polymer composition, for instance, may contain a thermoplastic polymer, a thermoplastic elastomer, an impact modifier and a wear resistant additive. In one embodiment, various polymer components are selected such that they do not undergo a second order transition within a temperature range of from about 50&#xb0; C. to about &#x2212;40&#xb0; C., and particularly from about 23&#xb0; C. to about &#x2212;40&#xb0; C. In one embodiment, the polymer compositions are used to mold the outer shell of a snow ski boot.
