Covalent network polymers that include one or more of a cure rate modifying (CRM) additive, a tack modifying additive, a flame retardant additive, a physical additive, and a viscosity modifying additive allow the viscosity, pot life, tackiness and safety of chemical mixtures and products to be tailored without sacrificing the mechanical properties or reprocessability of the final vitrimers. Use of additives also enables previously infeasible manufacturing techniques.

An elastomeric article having a rubber component comprising polyisoprene and an aldehyde aniline condensate, the elastomeric article having less than 1 ppm diisopropyl xanthogen polysulfide residue.

The present invention is directed to film-forming compositions comprising: a) a non-chlorinated, linear polyolefin polymer comprising 0.5 to 10 percent by weight residues of an ethylenically unsaturated anhydride or acid; b) an aminoplast; and c) a component comprising: i) at least one non-chlorinated hydrocarbon having at least 18 carbon atoms and optionally aromatic groups and/or oxygen heteroatoms; and/or ii) an alkyd resin. The present invention is also drawn to methods of improving fuel resistance of a coated article, comprising: (1) applying the film-forming composition to a substrate to form a coated substrate; (2) optionally subjecting the coated substrate to a temperature for a time sufficient to cure the film-forming composition; (3) applying at least one curable film-forming composition to the coated substrate to form a multi-layer coated substrate; and (4) subjecting the multi-layer coated substrate to a temperature and for a time sufficient to cure all of the film-forming compositions.

This invention relates generally to vulcanization compounds and relates more specifically to vulcanization compositions with reduced allergenic potential that include accelerator compositions for vulcanizing elastomeric articles. Vulcanization compositions are disclosed that include a single fugitive dihydrocarbyl xanthogen polysulfide accelerator and a single aldehyde-aniline condensate accelerator.

The present invention is directed to solventborne film-forming compositions comprising: a) a non-chlorinated, linear polyolefin polymer prepared from a reaction mixture comprising 0.5 to 5 percent by weight maleic anhydride based on the total weight of monomers in the reaction mixture; b) an aminoplast: and c) a polymer component comprising: i) an addition polymer prepared from a reaction mixture comprising coumarone; and/or ii) an alkyd resin. The present invention is also drawn to methods of improving fuel resistance of a coated article, comprising: (1) applying the solventborne film-forming composition above to a substrate to form a coated substrate; (2) applying a curable film-forming composition to at least a portion of the coated substrate formed in step (1) to form a multi-layer coated substrate; and (3) heating the multi-layer coated substrate formed in step (2) to a temperature and for a time sufficient to cure the film-forming composition.
