Abstract: An improved curable formaldehyde-free binding composition is provided. Such curable composition comprises the reaction product of a polyanhydride and a polyol crosslinker and a lower molecular weight anhydride. Initially, the polyanhydride is modified through reaction with a polyol (e.g., a glycol or an alkanolamine) and subsequently is grafted with the lower molecular weight anhydride (e.g., maleic anhydride) to form a water-soluble or water-dispersible curable reaction product.

Abstract: Dynamic vulcanizates of an engineering thermoplastic ("plastic"), e.g. a polyamide or polyester, with acrylate rubbers having dissimilar functional groups are prepared with a metal fatty acid salt in the absence of a conventional curative, provided the rubbers are molecularly intermixed. An acrylate rubber with halogen functionality ("AcrRubHal") is thus crosslinked in a single mixing stage with an acrylate rubber having carboxyl, hydroxyl or epoxy functionality ("AcrRubX") in a "plastic". Quaternary ammonium salts and tertiary amines do not function as curatives, as one might expect. But a metal fatty acid salt, preferably a metal stearate or oleate and concentrates thereof effectively crosslink the rubbers. TPVs produced without conventional curing agents are relatively "soft", but have highly desirable low temperature physical properties and oil resistance.
