Abstract
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/cm.sup.2 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/cm.sup.2.
