A thermoplastic elastomeric molding composition processable into a useable elastomeric article is formed by admixing a vulcanizable or otherwise thermosetable elastomeric polymer with suitable quantities of filler materials, plasticizers, and processing aids. The composition is then molded or otherwise formed, without undergoing vulcanization, into a useful elastomeric article by conventional thermoplastic forming techniques such as, for example, molding, extruding, etc. |
