  • Scorch extending curing/crosslinking compositions
    Patent number: 6765058
    Abstract: A crosslinkable composition of a polymeric thermoplastic and/or elastomeric material which is susceptible to scorching when processed at elevated temperatures, prior to crosslinking, in the presence of a free radical initiator, is protected against such scorching by the incorporation therein of a mixture of at least one hydroquinone compound and a sulfur accelerator. This mixture may also contain at least one monomeric allylic, methacrylic, acrylic or diene type coagent. The mixture exhibits a synergistic effect resulting in improved scorch protection for peroxide cured systems when compared with the protection afforded by the components singly.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 1995
    Date of Patent: July 20, 2004
    Assignee: Atofina Chemicals, Inc.
    Inventors: Michael Fred Novits, Chester Joseph Kmiec, Edward Phillip Hibbard
