Claims
- 1. A glass fiber reinforced resin composition consisting essentially of:
- (1) 45 to 83% by weight of crystalline ethylene-propylene block copolymer exhibiting a melt flow rate of 20 to 100 grams/10 minutes, comprising (i) an ethylene component in an amount of 3 to 12% by weight, and (ii) components having low molecular weights falling within the range of 1,000 to 50,000 in weight average molecular weight and soluble in chloroform at room temperature, in an amount of 0.3 to 3.5% by weight;
- (2) 2 to 20% by weight of a polypropylene resin modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative; and
- (3) 15 to 35% by weight of glass fiber.
- 2. The glass fiber reinforced resin composition according to claim 1, wherein said components having low molecular weights are substances extracted from the crystalline ethylene-propylene block copolymer with chloroform at room temperature.
- 3. The glass fiber reinforced resin composition according to claim 2, wherein said components having low molecular weights are polypropylene, polyethylene, ethylene-propylene rubber or atactic polypropylene.
- 4. The glass fiber reinforced resin composition according to claim 1, wherein said unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative is maleic anhydride.
- 5. A wheel cap formed of a glass fiber reinforced resin composition consisting essentially of:
- (1) 45 to 83% by weight of crystalline ethylene-propylene block copolymer exhibiting a melt flow rate of 20 to 100 grams/10 minutes, comprising (i) an ethylene component in an amount of 3 to 12% by weight, and (ii) components having low molecular weights falling within the range of 1,000 to 50,000 in weight average molecular weight and soluble in chloroform at room temperature, in an amount of 0.3 to 3.5% by weight;
- (2) 2 to 20% by weight of a polypropylene resin modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative; and
- (3) 15 to 35% by weight of glass fiber.
- 6. The wheel cap according to claim 5, wherein said components having low molecular weights are substances extracted from the crystalline ethylene-propylene block copolymer with chloroform at room temperature.
- 7. The wheel cap according to claim 6, wherein said components having low molecular weights are polypropylene, polyethylene, ethylene-propylene rubber or atactic polypropylene.
- 8. The wheel cap according to claim 5, wherein said unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative is maleic anhydride.
- 9. The wheel cap according to claim 5, wherein said wheel cap is formed by injection molding.
