Abstract
Abstract Thermoplastic elastomers made of 48 to 88% by weight of ethylene-propylene-diene-rubber (EPDM), 10 to 50% by weight of polypropylene (PP) and 2 to 20% by weight of a third polymer and 5 to 60% by weight of softening oil, based on the total of EPDM, PP and the third polymer, and optionally further conventional constituents, have the advantage that the softening oil does not exude.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
Thermoplastic elastomer containing a polymer mixture consisting essentially of (i) 48-88% by weight of ethylene-propylene-diene-rubber, 10-50% by weight of polypropylene and 2-20% by weight of a block-copolymer made of at least two blocks A and B, whereby block A is polystyrene and block B is polybutadiene or polyisoprene, and the polymer of block B is at least partially hydrogenated, and (ii) 5-60% by weight of a plasticizing oil with the percentages of component (ii) being based on the total of the components of (i).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
Thermoplastic elastomer containing a polymer mixture consisting essentially of (i) 48-88% by weight of ethylene-propylene-diene-rubber, 10-50% by weight of polypropylene and 2-20% by weight of a block-copolymer made of at least two blocks A and B, whereby block A is polystyrene and block B is polybutadiene or polyisoprene, and the polymer of block B is at least partially hydrogenated, and (ii) 5-60% by weight of a plasticizing oil with the percentages of component (ii) being based on the total of the components of (i).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
Thermoplastic elastomers according to claim 1 wherein component (i) has 15-30% ethylene-propylene-diene-rubber, 15-30% polypropylene and 3-10% block-copolymer and component (ii) has an amount of 20-40%.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
Thermoplastic elastomers according to claim 1, in which the ethylene-propylene-diene-rubber has an ethylene/propylene weight ratio of from 80:20 to 40:60, a Mooney viscosity (ML 1+4, 100° C.) of from 30 MU to (ML 1+4, 140° C.) of 170 MU and a diene content of from 1 to 15% by weight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
55 words
Thermoplastic elastomers according to claim 1, in which said block-copolymer has a styrene content of from 10 to 40% by weight of which at least 80% by weight is incorporated as block units, and a 20% by weight solution of which in toluene has viscosity of from 1 to 2.5 Pa s at 25° C.
