  • Patent number: 6376039
    Abstract: A spliceable/joinable elastic laminate having rubber properties includes two mutually joined layers comprised of non-polar hydrocarbon compounds, of which one layer is a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and the other is a cross-linked vulcanized rubber of EPDM or butyl type. The laminate is characterized in that the thermoplastic elastomer contains at least 10% by weight of an elastic copolymer that can be mixed with filler and a flame resistant agent to a mixture that contains at least 50% filler. The elastic copolymer contains suitable ethylene and octene in a ratio from 1:10 to 4:10. The thermoplastic elastomer may have any composition that will impart a viscosity within the range of 0.01-1 NM in the temperature range of 70-150° C.
