- 8. The composition of claim 1, when said curing agent is a blocked diamine curing agent.
- 9. The composition of claim 8, wherein said blocked diamine is a carbon dioxide hindered diamine.
- 10. The composition of claim 9, wherein said curing agent comprises hexamethylene diamine carbamate.
- 11. A thermoplastic elastomer composition comprising:
- a halobutyl rubber cured by dynamic vulcanization with a diamine curing agent, said cure being effected in the presence of 30 to 65 parts of a mixture formed from 15 to 30 parts of polypropylene and 15 to 35 parts of a thermoplastic elastomeric block copolymer having terminal polystyrene units and olefin elastomeric mid block units, said parts being based on 100 of said rubber.
- 12. The composition of claim 11, wherein said thermoplastic copolymer is SEBS.
- 13. The composition of claim 11, wherein said halobutyl rubber is bromobutyl rubber.

- 16. A thermoplastic elastomer composition comprising:
- a bromobutyl rubber cured by dynamic vulcanization with a diamine curing agent, said cure being effected in the presence of 30 to 65 parts of a mixture formed from 15 to 30 parts of a polypropylene and 15 to 35 parts of SEBS, said parts based on 100 parts of said rubber.
- 17. The composition of claim 16, wherein said diamine is hexamethylene diamine carbamate.
- 18. A thermoplastic elastomer composition comprising:
- a halobutyl rubber cured by dynamic vulcanization with a multifunctional amine curing agent, said cure being effected in the presence of at least 20 parts of a mixture formed from by 10 to 60 parts of a polyolefin selected from polypropylene and polyethylene and 1 to 90 parts of a thermoplastic elastomeric block copolymer having terminal polystyrene units and olefin elastomeric mid block units, said parts based on 100 parts of said rubber.
- 19. The composition of claim 18, wherein said block copolymer is SEBS.
- 20. The composition of claim 19, wherein the amount of said SEBS ranges from about 18 to about 50 parts.
- 21. The composition of claim 19, wherein said polyolefin is polypropylene.
- 22. The composition of claim 21, wherein the amount of said polypropylene ranges from about 15 to about 30 parts.
- 23. The composition of claim 18, wherein said halobutyl rubber is bromobutyl rubber.
- 24. The composition of claim 18, wherein said curing agent is a blocked diamine curing agent.
- 25. The composition of claim 24, wherein said blocked diamine is a carbon dioxide hindered diamine.
- 26. The composition of claim 25, wherein said curing agent comprises hexamethylene diamine carbamate
