ELASTOMER COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING GAS TO LIQUID BASE OILS AND PROCESSES FOR PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

Elastomer compositions comprising a gas to liquid (GTL) derived synthetic base oil as an extender oil are provides wherein the base oil has not been subjected to a process for the removal of haze causing components. Elastomers described include those comprising one elastomer component such as a rubber and a base oil wherein the base oil has not been treated to remove haze components and is present in the range of from about 0.1 wt% to about 50 wt% based on the weight of the total elastomer composition. The haze components may include paraffinxc microcrystalline wax formed as part of the GTL process.
