A resin composition of the invention includes a
thermoplastic elastomer and a glycol or its derivative.
Polyamide- or
polyester-based
thermoplastic elastomers, for example, can be used as the
thermoplastic elastomer. The
soft segment of the
thermoplastic elastomer may be composed of a polyether or
polyester. As the glycol or its derivative, for example, a compound represented by the following Formula (1):(wherein each of R<1 >and R<2 >is, identical to or different from each other, a
hydrogen atom, an
alkyl group or an
acyl group; each of A<1>, A<2 >and A<3 >is, identical to or different from one another, an alkylene group having 2 or more carbon atoms; each of l, m and n is, identical to or different from one another, an integer of 0 or more, where l+m+n>0) can be used. This resin composition can substantially improve
impact resistance at low temperatures while maintaining tensile properties, flexural properties and
heat resistance properties.
