Claims
- 1. A steering wheel pad made of a soft vinyl chloride resin composition comprising:
- 100 parts by weight of a vinyl chloride resin having an average polymerization degree of 700 to 2500; 20 to 150 parts by weight of a heat treated thermoplastic aliphatic polyurethane; and
- 60 to 150 parts by weight of an alkyl phthalic ester having the following chemical formula: ##STR5## wherein m and n are 7 to 9, and said alkyl phthalic ester having a linear chain ratio of an ester group of 80% or more.
- 2. A steering wheel pad as defined in claim 1, wherein said thermoplastic polyurethane is made of polyester diol and isocyanate.
- 3. A steering wheel pad as defined in claim 1, wherein the carboxylic acid component of said polyester diol is selected from the group consisting of adipinic acid, succinic acid, azelaic acid, and sebacic acid.
- 4. A steering wheel pad as defined in claim 1, wherein said thermoplastic polyurethane is an aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane made of adipinic acid-1.4 butane diol and hexamethylene diisocyanate.
