Abstract: A description is given of a molding compound made of elastomeric polyolefin rubbers, polyethylene and/or ethylene copolymers and additives, said compound comprising per 100 parts of polyolefin rubber, 25 to 100 parts by weight of polyethylene and/or ethylene copolymers having a MFI (190/2,16) of less than 0.1 [g/10 min], and between 16 and 28 parts by weight of a mineral oil. Also described is an elastic sealing strip, more particularly a roof sealing strip, made from the said molding compound by calendering or extruding.

Abstract: A laminate is made of textile sheet structures of synthetic fibers or glass fibers with a covering of polypropylene. The polypropylene is crosslinked by addition of crosslinking agents. The laminate has good electrical insulating properties, perfect solder bath stability, and good mechanical machinability. This laminate is provided, in heated presses, with metal layers or can be provided, in heated presses, with metal layers or can be provided with such metals layers by the application of metallic foils or by electrolytical methods, and serves for the manufacture of printed circuits and ribbon cables. An advantageous production of the textile sheet structures encased with crosslinked polypropylene can be performed on roll stands by thermoplastic encasing and smoothing in a continuous process.

Abstract: A process for the production of multiple-layer moldings from a substrate, member based on polypropylene and an elastomer foam is provided wherein lamination of the foam to the substrate member and shaping of the polypropylene take place in one working step.

Abstract: A process for the production of semifinished products and/or molded components from polypropylene by grafting thereto an alkoxysilane compound in the presence of an organic peroxide involves mising the polypropylene, the silane compound, and the peroxide and subsequently plasticizing and extruding at a temperature of about 170.degree.-240.degree. C. The process utilizes an essentially isotactic homopolymer of propylene with a density of about 0.90-0.91 g/cm.sup.3 and a melt index MFI (#.degree. C./5 kp) of smaller than 0.7 g/10 min, preferably smaller than 0.1 g/10 min, and with a molecular weight higher than 5.multidot.10.sup.5. An initially non-crosslinked semifinished product is obtained.
