Abstract:
A copolymer comprising about 50 to about 80 mol % alkylene oxide, about 5 to about 50 mol % halo epoxide, and 0 to about 15 mol % diene-epoxide. The copolymer has a water-soluble amount of less than 10 wt %. In some embodiments, the volume resistivity of a semi-conductive composition made from the copolymer is between about 1.0 * 10 5 about to 3.5 * 10 7 ohms*cm.
Abstract:
A water swellable rubber composition comprising (a) a non-water swellable base rubber, (b) an ethylene oxide based hydrophilic elastomer having from zero up to and including 20 mole % of a crosslinkable curable functional group, and (c) a water swellable non-elastomeric material. The composition has excellent water swell characteristics under prolonged exposure to high temperature and various electrolyte solutions (strongly saline as well as acid conditions) and is particularly suitable for oil field applications. When the ethylene oxide based hydrophilic elastomer (b) has from zero to less than 5 mole % of crosslinkable functional group, the amount of (b) is between about 30 parts and 300 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the base rubber (a) and the amount of (c) is between about 20 parts and 200 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the base rubber (a), the composition is characterized by good shape retention after undergoing constrained swell, as well as a high degree of constrained swell at elevated temperatures in different saline concentrations.
Abstract:
A highly damping homogenous elastomeric polymer blend. The elastomeric polymer blend comprises from about 50% to about 95wt% epihalohydrin and from about 5% to about 50wt% polymethylmethacrylate. The blend is homogenous and has a vertical rebound between 0 and about 10% and a Tg between about -20°C and about 45 °C when measured by rheology.
Abstract:
An electrostatic mat, wherein the mat comprises at least one electrostatic layer, wherein the at least one layer comprises an elastomeric rubber, wherein the elastomeric rubber comprises 20-100phr elastomeric polyether, wherein the elastomeric polyether comprises 10-75wt% ethylene oxide, 20-70wt% epihalohydrin, and 0-10% vinyloxirane. The mat prevents the generation of voltage when it is walked on and/ or dissipates the charge that was generated.

Abstract:
An adhesion promoting curative and stabilizer system for an elastomer comprises: a) an organic peroxide; b) a diazabicycloamine; c) an isocyanurate; d) a layered organically modified inorganic nanofiller; and e) optionally an antioxidant. Elastomer compositions comprising the curative and stabilizer system have good heat aging properties, even without the use of antioxidants in compounding the elastomer compositions, and exhibit strong adhesion to other polymers upon vulcanization.
Abstract:
A process for providing a last curing vulcanizable multi-part rubber compound comprising feeding simultaneously streams of a first rubber compound, a second rubber compound, and optionally one or more additional rubber compound into an injection chamber of an injection press where the streams of rubber are combined, injecting the combined streams of rubber from the injection chamber at a pressure of at least 10,000 psi into a motionless mixer provided downstream of the injection, and feeding the blended rubber stream into a mold provided downstream of the motionless mixer. The first, second and optional additional rubber compounds exhibit a ts2 value of at least 1.5 minutes when measured at 190 degree C. The first rubber compound, the second rubber compound and the optional additional rubber compound are kept separate from each other until the fast-curing vulcanizable multi-part rubber compound is used.
