Abstract: A fire and smoldering resistant article includes: a fabric; a coating composition to provide resistance to fire and smoldering of the article, the coating composition disposed on the fabric and including: a cross-linked silicone polymer; and a metal hydroxide disposed among the silicone polymer; and a mesh interposed between the fabric and the coating composition, wherein the cross-linked silicone polymer includes: a reaction product of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS); a reaction product of a hydroxy modified PDMS; a reaction product of a vinyl modified PDMS; or a combination including at least one of the foregoing silicone polymers.

Abstract: An elastomeric compositions having improved impermeability is disclosed. The cured elastomeric composition may comprise at least one C4-C7 monoolefin elastomer, a hydrocarbon polymer additive, and a clay. In some embodiments, the cured elastomeric composition has a permeation coefficient at 40° C. of 90 cc*mm/(m2-day) or less. In some embodiments, the elastomeric composition is substantially free of naphthenic oil.

Abstract: Elastomeric compositions comprising at least one C4 to C7 monoolefin elastomer, at least one polyalphaolefin, and optionally at least one hydrocarbon polymer additive are disclosed. The PAO comprises oligomers of one or more C2 to C20 alpha-olefins having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 3 to 3000 cSt and a Mw/Mn of less than 4. In one aspect, the elastomeric composition may have improved flex fatigue properties and have a fatigue life of 450,000 Kc or more as measured by ASTM D 412 die C. In another aspect, an elastomeric composition may have improved impermeability and have a permeation coefficient at 40° C. of 160 cc*mm/(m2?day) or less.
