PARTICULATE MATERIAL CONTAINING THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMER AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING SAME

摘要

Disclosed herein is a particle comprising a particulate substrate; and a thermoplastic elastomer present on or in the substrate as an amount sufficie nt to improve the dust suppression of the particle above that which would occur if the thermoplastic elastomer was absent. Disclosed herein is a particle comprising a particulate substrate; and a thermoplastic elastomer, wherein t he particle has a compressive strength retention of greater than about 50% as measured by a UCS test and a turbidity of about 10 to 200 NTU after a one ho ur ball mill test.
