HOMOGENEOUSLY BRANCHED ETHYLENE/ALPHA-OLEFIN INTERPOLYMER COMPOSITIONS FOR USE IN GASKET APPLICATIONS

摘要

Flexible gaskets are formed from blends of ethylene/ alpha -olefin interpolymers which contain long chain branching and that possess improved processability as well as low temperature resistance and resistance to staining and attack by microbes. Such gaskets do not require formulation other than the addition of color, to produce a functional product. The gaskets of the present invention do not impact negatively on the environment and are also relatively inexpensive to produce.
