## Abstract

A thermoplastic elastomer composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a vinyl chloride resin, from 20 to 300 parts by weight of a nitrile rubber, from 25 to 200 parts by weight of a plasticizer, from 10 to 200 parts by weight of a filler and a curing agent for the rubber, and being meltable by a roll set at a temperature of 190.degree. C.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A thermoplastic elastomer composition obtained by a process consisting essentially of simultaneously kneading and curing at a temperature from 140.degree.-220.degree. C. a mixture comprising 100 parts by weight of vinyl chloride resin, from 20-300 parts by weight of a powdery and partially pre-crosslinked copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile, from 25-200 parts by weight of a plasticizer, from 10-200 parts by weight of a filler and curing agent for the rubber which cures at a temperature ranging from 140.degree.-220.degree. C., said composition being meltable by a roll set at a temperature of 190.degree. C.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The thermoplastic elastomer composition according to claim 1, wherein said partially pre-crosslinked copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile contains from 20 to 45% of a bound acrylonitrile.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The thermoplastic elastomer composition according to claim 1 wherein said plasticizer is a member selected from the group consisting of phthalic acid esters, trimellitic acid esters, pyromellitic acid esters, aliphatic dibasic acid esters, glycol esters, fatty acid esters, phosphoric acid esters and citric acid esters.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The thermoplastic elastomer composition according to claim 1 wherein said curing agent is sulfur, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, an organic peroxide, triazinethiol, a benzothiazole sulfenamide accelerator, benozthiazyl disulfide, a phenol resin, m-phenylene bismaleimide, thiuram disulfide or dipentamethylene thiuram hexasulfide.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The thermoplastic elastomer composition according to claim 1, wherein the amount of said curing agent in the composition is at least 0.1 point by weight per 100 parts by weight of the total amount of vinyl chloride resin and partially pre-crosslinked copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The thermoplastic elastomer composition according to claim 1, wherein the filler is carbon black and/or calcium carbonate.
