Abstract
The invention encompasses a handrail for escalators or moving walkways that includes a grip piece of a thermoplastic elastomer including soft segments and hard segments and optionally a sliding layer arranged on the underside of the grip piece relative to the mounting orientation of the handrail. A ratio of the proportions of the soft segments to the hard segments is selected from a range with a lower limit of 1:1 and an upper limit of 9:1, or, in a variation, from a range with a lower limit of 1.5:1 and an upper limit of 6:1, or, in another variation, from a range with a lower limit of 2.5:1 and an upper limit of 4:1.
