Abstract
This invention relates to a perfectly or partially crosslinked olefinic thermoplastic elastomer composition which comprises 10 to 90 parts by weight of a crystalline polyolefin (a), 90 to 10 parts by weight of an olefin-based copolymer rubber (b) (the total amount of the components (a) and (b) being 100 parts by weight) and 3 to 100 parts by weight of a paraffinic mineral oil softening agent (c) having an evaporation loss of 0.4% by weight or less at a condition of 200° C., atmospheric pressure and 1 hour and having a kinetic viscosity (40° C.) of 50 to 250 cSt; an olefinic thermoplastic elastomer composition which is obtainable by subjecting a mixture including 40 to 85 parts by weight of an ethylene-based copolymer rubber (A), 60 to 15 parts by weight of an olefinic resin (B) and 45 parts by weight or less of a softening agent (C) [the total amount of the components (A), (B) and (C) being 100 parts by weight] to dynamic heat treatment in the presence of a crossliking agent and which has a gloss value of 80% or more and a haze value of 10% or less on glass plate when subjected to the fogging test at a condition of 100° C. and 3 hours according to the prescription of A method of DIN 75201; and a manufacturing method and use of the compositions.
