Abstract
A resin composition for soft bumpers is disclosed, comprising (a) 100 parts by weight of a selectively hydrogenated block copolymer having at least two mono-alkenyl or mono-alkenylidene aromatic hydrocarbon polymer blocks having a number average molecular weight of from 5,000 to 15,000 and at least one partially or completely hydrogenated aliphatic conjugated diene hydrocarbon polymer block having a number average molecular weight of from 10,000 to 75,000, (b) from 10 to 100 parts by weight of an ethylene-propylene copolymer rubber having a Mooney viscosity of from 15 to 50 as measured at 100.degree. C. and an intrinsic viscosity of from 1.2 to 2.0 dl/g as measured in a xylene solution at 70.degree. C., (c) from 200 to 400 parts by weight of a propylene-ethylene block copolymer having a melt flow rate of from 10 to 30 g/10 min and an ethylene content of from 5 to 15% by weight, and (d) from 20 to 200 parts by weight of a non-aromatic diluent oil for rubber. The composition provides soft bumpers having improved appearance, such as gloss and surface uniformity, improved scratch resistance and excellent coating properties.
