Abstract

The invention disclosed herein relates to methods for vulcanizing elastomeric materials. The method comprises providing a mixture of ZnO and an amphiphilic triblock copolymer selected from the group consisting of rosin and C18-C24 fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol and the use of the mixture for vulcanizing an elastomeric component with sulfur. The mixture not only improves the dispersion of zinc salts in the elastomeric composition but also reduces mold fouling by reducing the migration of zinc salts to the interfacial area of the elastomeric composition.

Claims

WO 97/49763 AMENDED CLAIMS PCT/US97/11688
[received by the International Bureau on 16 January 1998 (16.01.98); original claim 15 cancelled; original claims 1, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 18 and 24 amended; remaining claims unchanged (2 pages)]
1. A process for vulcanizing an elastomeric material which comprises: premixing ZnO and an amount of amphiphilic triblock copolymer (ATC) sufficient to provide a dispersion of ZnO in the ATC, the ATC being selected from the group consisting of rosin diesters and C18-C24 fatty acid diesters of polyethylene glycol (PEG), the PEG having a molecular weight of from about 350 to about 1000 amu; combining the ZnO/ATC dispersion with an elastomeric component and sulfur to provide a reaction mixture; and vulcanizing the reaction mixture.
2. The process of Claim 1 wherein the elastomeric component is less polar than neoprene.
