The present invention relates to a thermoplastic silicone elastomer composition comprising a blend of an organic thermoplastic elastomer and a silicone composition, and a method of forming a vulcanized thermoplastic elastomer composition. Functional and aesthetic automotive parts, such as gears, which require stability with the most commonly used chemicals and high mechanical performance, abrasion resistance and scratch resistance, along with durable aesthetics, tactile and ergonomic characteristics Handle, seat belt connectors, built-in mats, airbag protective covers, dashboards and over-molded skins for armrests; To form a soft touch grip of a mechanical component for a handheld device; The use of such thermoplastic elastomer compositions for forming medical devices, sporting goods, and general rubber parts is also presented. |
