Composition for making magnetic coverings comprising at least one elastomer, at least one magnetic filler, at least one compatibilizer, wherein the at least one magnetic filler is present in the composition in an amount comprised between 90% and 300% by weight, preferably between 100% and 250% by weight based on the weight of the least one elastomer.

Polyamide-filled EVA copolymer compositions comprising a continuous EVA copolymer phase and a discontinuous polyamide phase are produced by a melt mixing process. When crosslinked with peroxide curatives the polyamide-filled EVA copolymer compositions exhibit enhanced resistance to heat aging compared to EVA elastomer compositions reinforced with carbon black or other inorganic fillers.

The present disclosure provides methods of improving adhesion of a non-di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to an acrylic-based polymer or an ABS-based polymer. Such methods may comprise blending the acrylic-based polymer or ABS-based polymer with an impact modifier so that a rubber content in the acrylic-based polymer or ABS-based polymer is greater than 12% (w/w). Also provided are components of a device (e.g., a medical device) made by the disclosed methods.

Fiber reinforced composite comprising a polypropylene with high melting temperature and narrow molecular weight distribution.

Fiber reinforced composite comprising a polypropylene with high melting temperature and very narrow molecular weight distribution.

Provided is a thermoplastic resin composition which contains three components, i.e., a polyethylene, a polyamide and a compatibilizer and is excellent in impact resistance while realizing a reduction in environmental load, and a modifier capable of imparting impact resistance to a polyethylene. The composition and the modifier each contain a polyethylene, a polyamide and a compatibilizer. The compatibilizer is a modified elastomer having a reactive group that reacts with the polyamide, and the polyethylene and the polyamide have a bio-based carbon content rate of 80% or more according to ISO 16620-2.

The present invention relates to polymer compounds containing hemp and methods for producing such polymer compounds. More specifically, the invention relates to such hemp-containing polymer compounds containing one or more property-enhancing additives.

A skim block composition includes a carrier mixed with a skim block addition, the skim block addition including from 0 to less than 100 wt % synthetic polymer, and from greater than 0 to 100% skim block. This provides productive use for the typical waste product skim block, which is the neutralized and coagulated product of skim latex formed during the production of natural rubber latex concentrate by centrifugation.

A thermoplastic polyurethane composition includes a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and a polyoxymethylene. The thermoplastic polyurethane composition comprises 50 to 95 parts by weight of the TPU and 5 to 50 parts by weight of the polyoxymethylene, per 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic polyurethane composition. The thermoplastic polyurethane composition has an Izod notched impact of greater than 0.5 fflb/in at −40° C. as determined by ASTM D256 10, Method A, and an elastic modulus of greater than 700 psi at 130° C. as determined by ASTM D412. A fluid transfer tube is formed from the thermoplastic polyurethane composition.

There is provided a pneumatic tire having improved wet grip performance and fuel efficiency in a good balance. The pneumatic tire is provided with a tread composed of a rubber composition comprising not less than 0.5 part by mass of silica and not less than 5 parts by mass of a resin based on 100 parts by mass of a rubber component comprising 40 to 100% by mass of a styrene-butadiene rubber and 0 to 60% by mass of a butadiene rubber, wherein an adhesive force of the rubber composition measured by the specified adhesion test method is not less than 300 when an adhesive force of a reference rubber composition wherein the whole amount of resin has been replaced by oil is assumed to be 100, and a ratio of a loss tangent tan δ.sub.0° C. at 0° C. of the rubber composition to a loss tangent tan δ.sub.70° C. at 70° C. of the rubber composition (tan δ.sub.0° C./tan δ.sub.70° C. is from 3.0 to 10.
