摘要:
Dynamic vulcanizates of an engineering thermoplastic ("plastic"), e.g. a polyamide or polyester, with acrylate rubbers having dissimilar functional groups are prepared with a metal fatty acid salt in the absence of a conventional curative, provided the rubbers are molecularly intermixed. An acrylate rubber with halogen functionality ("AcrRubHal") is thus crosslinked in a single mixing stage with an acrylate rubber having carboxyl, hydroxyl or epoxy functionality ("AcrRubX") in a "plastic". Quaternary ammonium salts and tertiary amines do not function as curatives, as one might expect. But a metal fatty acid salt, preferably a metal stearate or oleate and concentrates thereof effectively crosslink the rubbers. TPVs produced without conventional curing agents are relatively "soft", but have highly desirable low temperature physical properties and oil resistance.

A thermoplastic elastomer compound is disclosed having copolyester elastomer, epoxidized soybean oil, and vulcanized vegetable oil. The compound has a biorenewable content of at least about 50 weight percent of the compound. The compound can be used to make a plastic article needing a Shore A hardness of from about 40 to about 70. The compound is a sustainable solution for extruded or molded articles.
摘要:
This invention relates to a roofing or siding membrane comprising a non-woven mat coated with an asphaltic composition containing, in addition to 35-75 wt. % bitumen, a mixture of isotactic and amorphous propylene polymers and between about 0.08 and about 15 wt. % of a functionalized, olefin polymer to provide a non-staining membrane of high tensile strength, low polyolefin content with respect to asphalt, improved compatibility between asphalt and non-functionalized polymers and reduced light end asphalt and polymer exudates. The invention also relates to a method for preparing the membrane.
摘要:
A thermoplastic elastomer composition has a plastic phase or matrix of an engineering thermoplastic such as an ester polymer and a crosslinked phase of self-cured acrylic rubber particles. The rubber particles are the reaction product of at least one functionalized acrylic rubber self-cured by a different functionalized acrylic rubber wherein the functional groups are generally a carboxyl, an epoxy, or hydroxyl, and the like. The composition can be dynamically vulcanized in the presence of an accelerator and desirably has a single low temperature brittle point.

摘要:
A blend of any of three specific olefin polymers and ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer is disclosed. Optionally, the blend also includes styrene-isobutylene-styrene thermoplastic vulcanizate and calcium carbonate filler. The blend has good processability and passes Olive Oil Extraction Test EU82/711/EEC and the FDA Food Contact Test required at 21 CFR §177.2600, enabling plastic articles of the blend to be used as thermoplastic elastomers in food handling and storage articles.
摘要:
A blend of styrene-isobutylene-styrene based thermoplastic elastomer and organoclay-filled polyamide is disclosed which has good processability and more effective barrier properties for oxygen than the blend using amorphous or crystalline polyamide without organoclay.
摘要:
A thermoplastic elastomer composition has a plastic phase or matrix of an engineering thermoplastic such as a polyamide and a crosslinked phase of cured acrylic rubbers. The rubbers contain at least two functionalized acrylic rubbers wherein the functional group such as a carboxyl, an epoxy, or a hydroxyl can be the same or different. The curing agents generally react via covalent bonding with the reactive functional groups of the rubbers. The composition can be dynamically vulcanized and when one of the rubbers is a terpolymer of ethylene-alkyl acrylate-unsaturated carboxylic acid, the composition has a single low temperature brittle point.
