Abstract

A process for production of a thermoplastic elastomer composition by melt-kneading a mixture in one step to thereby conduct dynamic crosslinking, wherein the mixture comprises a hydrogenated block copolymer (a1) which is prepared by hydrogenating a block copolymer comprising a vinyl aromatic polymer block (A1) and a conjugated diene polymer block (B1) and has number-average molecular weight of 200000 or above and, if necessary, a non-hydrogenated block copolymer (a2) comprising a vinyl aromatic polymer block (A2) and a conjugated diene polymer block (B2), and contains a non-aromatic rubber softening agent (b), a peroxide-crosslinkable olefin resin (c) having a density of 0.94 g/cm3 or above, a peroxide-decomposable olefin resin (d), an organic peroxide (e), and a crosslinking aid (f), the amount of (b) being 50 to 250 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the sum of (a1) +(a2), the amount of (c) being 2.5 to 50 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of (a); and the amount of (d) being 0.5 to 10 times that of (c) by mass.
