  • Patent number: 10899857
    Abstract: Essentially ETU-free cross linkable compositions comprising chloroprene rubber, a cross-linker and a vulcanization accelerator, which have a defined content of ions from the second or third main group and resinate anions and thus possesses improved curing characteristics, a process for vulcanization of such compositions and vulcanizates obtained thereby.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 25, 2016
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2021
    Assignee: ARLANXEO DEUTSCHLAND GMBH

  • Patent number: 8013070
    Abstract: Novel crosslinkable compositions are provided and are based on thermoplastic polymers and elastomers, these compositions comprising, as crosslinking system, specific organic salts of metal ions. Ionically crosslinked thermoplastic elastomers can be obtained therefrom and have excellent physical properties, high-temperature resistance extending above 150° C., and also oil resistance. They can be used for production of moldings.

  • Patent number: 7943694
    Abstract: Crosslinkable compositions based on at least one copolyester as thermoplastic elastomer and on ?-olefin-vinyl acetate copolymers having a vinyl acetate content of ?40% by weight, where the compositions comprise a peroxide as crosslinking initiator. The present invention further relates to the preparation of the crosslinkable compositions of the invention, to the use of the crosslinkable compositions of the invention for the production of thermoplastic elastomers, to a process for the crosslinking of the compositions of the invention to give a thermoplastic elastomer of the invention, and also to the thermoplastic elastomers of the invention themselves and to their use for the production of mouldings.

  • Patent number: 7915336
    Abstract: Crosslinkable compositions based on polyamide and on ?-olefin-vinyl acetate copolymers, where the compositions comprise a crosslinking initiator, and also a co-crosslinking agent, and crosslinkable compositions based on polyamides and on ?-olefin-vinyl acetate copolymers, where these compositions comprise a crosslinking initiator and the amount of polyamide in the compositions is <30% by weight. The present invention further relates to the preparation of the crosslinkable compositions of the invention, to the use of the crosslinkable compositions of the invention for the production of thermoplastic elastomers, to a process for the crosslinking of the compositions of the invention to give a thermoplastic elastomer, and also to the thermoplastic elastomers themselves and to their use for the production of mouldings.

  • Publication number: 20080073815
    Abstract: A vulcanizable composition based on ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers is prepared with vinyl acetate content of at least 45% by weight, based on the copolymer, and these can be crosslinked in the absence of peroxides. These mixtures comprise at least one organotin catalyst and a specific crosslinking agent. A process is moreover described for preparation of these vulcanizable compositions, and their use is described for production of products with elastomeric properties.
