Abstract: The present invention relates to a film comprising a vulcanised thermoplastic elastomer, a polypropylene based polyolefine composition and optionally an ethylene polymer. The film for example comprises from 30-90 parts by weight of vulcanised thermoplastic elastomer, 5-65 parts by weight of the polypropylene based polyolefin composition and optionally from 0-50 parts by weight of the ethylene polymer wherein said parts by weight are based upon 100 parts by weight of the vulcanised thermoplastic elastomer, the polypropylene based polyolefin composition and the ethylene polymer. The films are used in soft touch applications, consumer applications, medical applications, hygienic applications, packaging, and automotive or clothing applications. The films are for example useful in baby diapers, surgical drapes, surgical pouches, hospital linens, diaper waist bands and side tabs, adult incontinence products, feminine hygiene products and wound care products.

Abstract: Multi-layer moulding, containing a body part and a surface layer which at least partly covers the body part, which body part contains a cross-linked elastomer composition and which surface layer contains a thermoplastic elastomer, in which the surface layer of the multi-layer moulding, in a weather resistance test according to DIN 75202, in which the surface layer is continuously exposed for at most 100 hours to light from a xenon light source, which light source is provided with a borosilicate “S” inner filter and a soda lime outer filter, at a relative humidity of 30%, with an intensity of 1.40 W/m2 at 420 nanometres on the surface of the moulding, a black standard temperature of 100° C., in a space with a temperature of 66° C., develops a colour deviation with a ?E of at most 3.0, measured according to ASTM D 1925.
