  • Patent number: 6303683
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a synthetic rubber-based composition comprising: a low molecular weight rubber selected from polybutadiene comprising from about 75% to about 92% cis-1,4 units, a copolymer comprising butadiene units and from about 27 wt % to about 45 wt % pentadiene units, and mixtures thereof, a high molecular weight rubber comprising isobutylene units and not more than about 6 wt % isoprene units, the high molecular weight rubber being present in an amount of from about 0.5 parts to about 4 parts by weight based on the weight of low molecular weight rubber, sulfur, a vulcanization accelerator, and an active filler where the sulfur, the accelerator, and the active filler are each present in the form of a powder within a particular particle size range(s). Additionally, these compositions may be used to form coatings and rubber concretes. The invention also relates to methods of producing such compositions, coatings and rubber concretes.
