The rubberized textile material for a belt textile ply is provided on at least one side of a textile web with a peroxidically crosslinkable ethylene-alpha-olefin-diene terpolymer rubber mixture, preferably an EPDM mixture. In this rubberization mixture the third monomer content (diene content) of the EPDM is preferably at least 4% and the rubber mixture contains: a peroxidic crosslinker, a mineral oil having an aromatics proportion of at least 50 percent by weight and at least one reactive phenol and/or reactive phenol resin capable of binding to the double bonds of unsaturated polymers. The reactive phenol and/or phenol resin and the mineral oil are present in the rubber mixture in a content of altogether 5 to 60 phr. The rubberization has an exceptional manufacturing tack coupled with good adhesion and good dynamic properties.

The present invention relates to processes for making compatibilized high aspect ratio barrier additives and polymer compositions that comprise compatibilized high aspect ratio barrier additives. The invention also relates to compositions produced by these processes, and articles formed from polymer compositions of this invention. The barrier additives provide passive barriers to gas molecules such as oxygen and carbon dioxide minimizing transit of such molecules through sidewalls of polymer articles containing the barrier additives.

A polymer composition for producing gel extruded articles is described. The polymer composition contains polyethylene particles combined with a plasticizer. The polyethylene particles are particularly selected so that the particles rapidly form a homogeneous gel-like material when combined with the plasticizer during gel processing. In one embodiment, the polyethylene used to produce the particles has a relatively low bulk density. Alternatively or in addition, the particles can have a carefully controlled particle size distribution. Polymer articles such as fibers and films can be produced having little to no imperfections.

A rubber includes 5 parts by mass to 45 parts by mass of an uncross-linked EPM relative to 100 parts by mass of a cross-linked rubber polymer (other than EPM), and an oil in an amount equal to or more than the amount of the EPM. The rubber is foamed and has a specific gravity of more than 0.3 and 0.8 or less. A weather strip 1 and a hose 2 are formed of the rubber.

A purpose of the present invention is to provide a tire assuring that clogging of snow and sticking of snow are inhibited, particularly a tire assuring that clogging of snow and sticking of snow can be inhibited and having good performance on ice and snow and abrasion resistance without depending on the tread pattern form while maintaining wet grip performance and abrasion resistance. The tire is composed of a rubber composition which comprises a rubber component comprising a modified butadiene rubber and silica and has a pure water contact angle of from 125? to 140?.

A product with absorbed gel leaving the exposed surface of such product free of stickiness and/or free of the release of oils in any appreciable amounts.

The invention relates to a method of bonding together surfaces of two or more elements, whereby at least one of the two or more elements is a mineral wool element, said mineral wool element(s) being bound by a mineral wool binder, the method comprising the steps of providing two or more elements; applying an adhesive to one or more of the surfaces to be bonded together before, during or after contacting the surfaces to be bonded together with each other; curing the adhesive, wherein the adhesive comprises at least one protein; at least one phenol and/or quinone containing compound, and/or at least one enzyme.

The present invention provides methods for preparing the nut waste composites from a nut waste component, one or more binders, and an oil using a compounder/extruder.

A method of fabricating plastic products having a preselected color, comprising preparing a dispersion of pigment of the preselected color in cottonseed oil; supplying a preselected plastic resin for the product to be fabricated to a process machine having a rotating screw; furnishing the dispersion to the process machine at a position adjacent to threaded portion of the rotating screw; and blending the dispersion and the resin by rotating the screw.

A thermally expandable rubber composition, including at least one solid rubber, at least one processing oil, at least one vulcanization system, at least one filler G, 0.25 and 0.55 wt-% of 4,4-oxybis(benzenesulfonyl hydrazide), 0.25 and 0.55 wt-% of p-toluenesulfonylhydrazide and 0.1 and 0.5 wt-% of azodicarbonic acid diamide.
