Abstract

This invention relates to improved front and rear fascia of a motor vehicle having improved flexibility, wherein the improved elastomeric composition used in forming the fascia includes a neutralized sulfonated elastomeric polymer, a polyolefinic thermoplastic resin and a preferential plasticizer. The formed fascia has an elastomeric-rich inner core which is composed of a blend of the neutralized sulfonated elastomeric polymer being plasticized with a preferential plasticizer and a polyolefinic thermoplastic resin, and a thermoplastic-rich outer shell which is composed of a thermoplastic blend of a major portion of the polyolefinic thermoplastic resin and a minor portion of the neutralized sulfonated elastomeric polymer being plasticized with a preferential plasticizer.
