摘要:
The present invention is an improved free-radical crosslinking process and free-radical crosslinking polymer compositions. The improved process delivers hotter processing conditions, faster crosslinking, or increased crosslinked densities. The crosslinkable polymeric composition comprises (1) a free-radical crosslinkable polymer, (2) a free-radical inducing species, and (3) a crosslinking-temperature-profile modifier.
摘要:
A propylene polymer is coupled with an olefinic interpolymer by a process comprising contacting under reactive processing conditions at least: A. 10 wt % of at least one propylene polymer; B. 10 wt % of at least one olefinic interpolymer; C. 35 wt % of at least one metal hydrate; and D. A coupling amount of a coupling agent, each weight percent based on the combined weight of the propylene polymer, olefinic interpolymer and metal hydrate. Wire and cable insulation sheaths made from compositions comprising the coupled polymer exhibit desirable heat resistance.
