Elastomer compositions derived from thiodiethanol having reduced odour and increased thermal stability, and process for their preparation.

摘要

The malodor in polymers based on thiodiethanol and elastomers produced therefrom is reduced by the incorporation of various metal salts therein. The use of copper salts for this purpose has the added advantage of enhancing the thermal stability of sulfur-vulcanizable elastomers based on thiodiethanol.
