Disclosed herein are low Shore A Hardness thermoplastic vulcanizate
compositions having high Rebound values. In at least one exemplary
embodiment, the compositions include a dispersed at least partially
vulcanized rubber component; a thermoplastic component; and process oil;
wherein the weight ratio of the thermoplastic component to the rubber
component ranges from 80:20 to 15:85; and the thermoplastic component
comprises more than 80 wt % of a polypropylene (preferably a random
propylene copolymer) having a melting point less than about 105.degree.
C. The compositions can be used in molded products, consumer goods and
the like.
