ELASTOMERIC COMPOSITIONS HAVING IMPROVED MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND SCORCH RESISTANCE

摘要

The present invention relates to an elastomeric composition containing a rubber and an oxidized polyethylene. The present invention also relates to elastomeric compositions containing a carboxylated nitrile rubber and an oxidized polyethylene. Compositions according to the present invention have improved physical properties including, tensile strength, tear strength, and improved scorch resistance. The present invention is also directed to an elastomer composition containing hydrogenated carboxylated nitrile rubber and a low molecular weight oxidized polyethylene having improved physical properties and scorch resistance.
