  • Properties of peroxide-cured elastomer compositions
    Patent number: 7615589
    Abstract: An elastomeric composition and method for making the same are provided. The composition can include a rubber component comprising one or more ethylene-propylene elastomers, one or more peroxide curing agents and one or more non-functionalized plasticizers having a viscosity index of 120 or more.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 2, 2007
    Date of Patent: November 10, 2009
    Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.

  • Multimodal ethylene, alpha-olefin and diene polymers, processes for making and devices comprising such compositions
    Patent number: 6686419
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to synthetic polymers, generally with improved balance of processability, resilience and durability. These polymers are generally of the ethylene, alpha-olefin, diene terpolymer type.

  • Laminar articles containing layers of ethylene containing polymer elastomers containing resins
    Publication number: 20010036558
    Abstract: Multilayer articles such as V-belts, hoses, rubber sheets, tires are produced from ethylene, alpha-olefin, or ethylene, alpha olefin diene copolymer elastomers which despite their attractive properties, have not been used previously due to the lack of green tack. The problem of insufficient green tack is overcome by the incorporating an aromatic containing petroleum resin.

  • Elastomeric vehicle vibration damping devices
    Patent number: 5571883
    Abstract: Motor vehicle vibration damping parts based on an ethylene, alpha-olefin, vinyl norbornene elastomeric polymer are manufactured with more efficiency due to vibration damping part compounds having lower viscosity, easier processing than ethylene, alpha-olefins, diene monomer compounds, where the diene monomer is other than vinyl norbornene. Additionally, the engine mounts or other vibration damping parts based on the ethylene, alpha-olefin, vinyl norbornene elastomeric polymer have better heat aging characteristics than natural rubber, when temperature of service exceed 120.degree. C., maintain more constant dynamic characteristics of the mount when running at elevated temperature like 120.degree. C.
