Abstract: A fluoroelastomer masterbatch comprising a particulate matrix material wherein the particles of the matrix material have an average size selected from the range of from 1 ?m to 1000 ?m in diameter, the concentration of fluoroelastomer is from about 0.2% to 40% by weight, and the fluoroelastomer is dispersed within the interstitial spaces of the particulate matrix material.

Abstract: Olefinic interpolymer compositions comprising the olefinic interpolymer, residuals from a transition metal catalyst and boron containing activator package, and a charge dissipation modifier and methods for making them. The compositions have dissipation factors that are at least 50% less than the corresponding olefinic interpolymer compositions which have not been treated with charge dissipation modifiers. The compositions are useful in wire and cable applications.
