  • Patent number: 4104205
    Abstract: Elastomer waste may be devulcanized without depolymerization to a material capable of recompounding and revulcanization into a product having physical properties essentially equivalent to the original vulcanizate. Devulcanization is accomplished by application of a controlled dose of microwave energy to sized material, preferably in a continuous process.

  • Patent number: 3959410
    Abstract: A structural hot melt adhesive of butadiene grafted ethylene-vinyl acetate. The butadiene graft is 1 to 12 percent by weight, preferably 4 to 8 percent by weight. The ethylene/vinyl acetate ratio is about 91/9 to 72/28, preferably about 83/17. Preferably grafting is done at room temperature using radiation. Peel adhesion on various fabric and metal substrates improved over ungrafted control samples from 100 to as much as 1500 percent.
