Polyalphaolefin plastisizers for elastomers

摘要

The present invention relates to polyalphaolefin plastisizers for elastomers, and elastomer compositions containing polyalphaolefins. Polyalphaolefins may be used as plastisizing agents in elastomers and blends containing elastomers to plastisize the hardness of the product and to provide more flexible products with a lower residual compression suitable for lower working temperatures. Elastomer composition of the invention containing a plastisizing agent comprises between 20 and 95 % by weight of an elastomer or a mixture of elastomers, and between 5 and 60 % by weight of polyalphaolefin or a mixture of polyalphaolefins.
