Abstract: By the use of special cross-linkers that contain at least two isocyanate groups, hydroxyl group-containing optionally hydrogenated nitrile rubber polymers can be successfully cross-linked. Preferred cross-linkers contain allophanate, biuret, uretdione, uretonimine, bridged carbamate, carbodiimide, isocyanurate, iminooxadiazinedione or oxadiazinetrione structural elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to vulcanizable compositions comprising (a) at least one ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing epoxy groups and having a vinyl acetate content of at least 20% by weight, preferably at least 30% by weight, more preferably at least 40% by weight, based on the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing epoxy groups, and (b) at least one carboxylated nitrile rubber.

Abstract: The invention relates to vulcanizable compositions based on carboxylated nitrile rubbers, at least one resol crosslinker, at least one silicatic filler and at least one specific silane, to a process for preparing these vulcanizable compositions, to a process for producing vulcanizates therefrom and to the vulcanizates thus obtained. The vulcanizates feature good mechanical and dynamic properties and an excellent compression set.

Abstract: There are provided novel vulcanizable compositions based on optionally fully or partly hydrogenated nitrile rubbers containing epoxy groups, and specific crosslinkers, which no longer require use of conventional crosslinkers, more particularly sulphur. The vulcanizates producible therefrom possess very good compression sets at room temperature, 100° C. and 150° C., and additionally exhibit high tensile stress combined with good elongation at break.
