Abstract: There is disclosed a hinge type air bag cover for vehicles, produced by molding a thermoplastic elastomer composition comprising: (A) 55 to 80 parts by weight of an olefin-based resin; and (B) 20 to 45 parts by weight of a copolymer rubber of ethylene and an &agr;-olefin having not less than 6 carbon atoms, the total content of said olefin-based resin (A) and sand copolymer rubber (B) being 100 parts by weight, said composition having a melt flow rate of not less than 5 g/10 minutes according to JIS K6758 at 230° C. under load of 21.17N, a flexural modulus of from not less than 550 MPa and less than 800 MPa, and a ratio of tensile break strength to flexural modulus of 0.03:1 to 0.07:1.

Abstract: An olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer comprises a propylene-based resin (A) and an olefin-based copolymer rubber (B), and has a ratio (N1/SS) of first normal stress difference (N1) to shear stress (SS) of 0.6:1 to 1.4:1 said first normal stress difference (N1) and shear stress (SS) being determined by subjecting said elastomer to step shear test at a temperature of 200° C. and a shear rate of 25.1 sec−1. Such olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer shows excellent moldability, transferability of embossed patterns and mechanical strength.
