Abstract: A thermoplastic elastomer composition (TPE composition) with an improved adhesion to rubber based on cross-linked diene rubber mixtures is disclosed. The rubbers are preferably sulphur-cross-linkable and selected from the group natural rubber (NR), isoprene rubber (IR), butadiene rubber (BR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), chloroprene rubber (CR), acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), butyl rubber (IIR) or ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM). In addition, the use of the thermoplastic elastomer composition for producing a composite material with a rubber, as well as an article that includes a thermoplastic elastomer composition and a rubber are disclosed. Further, a process for producing a thermoplastic elastomer composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: A thermoplastic elastomer composition of an elastomer, a non-elastomeric polyolefin and a thermoplastic elastomer based on polyolefin block copolymers are disclosed. Furthermore, the invention also relates to the use of a mixture of an elastomer and a cross-linking agent for the elastomer for producing a thermoplastic elastomer composition. A further subject of the invention is the use of a mixture of a non-elastomeric polyolefin and a thermoplastic elastomer based on polyolefin block copolymers for producing a thermoplastic elastomer composition. In addition, the invention relates to the use of a thermoplastic elastomer composition for producing a composite material with a polyolefin, in particular polypropylene. The invention also relates to a process for producing a thermoplastic elastomer composition as well as a composite material (article) made of the thermoplastic elastomer composition with a polyolefin.
