- compositions 20 and 21 illustrate the use according to the invention, compositions 22 to 25 correspond to comparative examples.
- crosslinking density and crosslinking rate are evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1 except that a preheated MDR rheometer set at 185 ° C is used.
- compositions 20 and 21 respectively have a higher crosslinking density than the compositions 23 and 24, which correspond to the same compositions without magnesium oxide.
- compositions were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1.
- compositions 26 and 27 illustrate the use of magnesium oxide according to the invention, compositions 28 to 29 correspond to comparative examples.
- the density and rate of crosslinking are evaluated as follows.
- a disk about 3.5 cm in diameter is cut in the mixing plate to be tested. It is placed between two sheets of Mylar-type polymer and then the assembly is placed in the test cavity of the MDR rheometer already preheated to the test temperature and adjusted according to the following parameters:
- Oscillation frequency 1.667 Hz
- the test is started immediately and the measurements are automatically recorded by the computer connected to the instrument.
- compositions containing magnesium oxide have a density and a rate of crosslinking increased with respect to the composition containing zinc oxide.
- the composition 26 makes it possible to obtain a higher crosslinking density and a higher rate of crosslinking with respect to the composition 28 which corresponds to the same composition as the composition 26 but with zinc oxide in place of the magnesium oxide (in the same proportion).
- composition 28 slightly increases the crosslinking density and crosslinking rate with respect to the same composition without metal oxide (composition 29). However, this effect, very low, is probably due to a reinforcing effect of zinc oxide.
