Definitions
- the present invention relates to compatible blends of ethylene-propylene rubber and polychloroprene and/or nitrile rubber and covulcanizates thereof having improved resistance to the deleterious effects of ozone, oxygen and heat while retaining outstanding tensile strength and abrasion resistance.
- elastomers such as polybutadiene or polyisoprene may be, in some cases reasonably compatible with olefin/diene elastomers and may be readily covulcanized because of the high availability of sites of ethylenic unsaturation
- other elastomers such as polychloroprene, butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers (nitrile) and like materials containing polar groups along the chain and/or a relatively low degree of ethylenic unsaturation are not so readily covulcanized.
- Ethylene/propylene copolymers and ethylene/ propylene/diene terpolymers which have been chemically treated by free-radical grafting thereon of unsaturated acid monomers are also disclosed in the art as additives in polymeric compositions.
- European Patent 0183493 to Mitsui Petrochemical Industries, Ltd. discloses liquid olefin copolymers or olefin/diene terpolymers having a molecular weight (Mn) of 200 to 10,000 which have been modified by graft copolymerization with an unsaturated carboxylic acid compound.
- graft copolymers are disclosed to be useful as tackifier additives to various resinous compositions or as additives to curable rubbery polymers such as ethylene/propylene/diene elastomers and mixtures thereof with other elastomers.
- US Patent 4307204 to DuPont discloses an expandable, curable elastomeric sponge composition based on ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymer (EPDM) elastomer or polychloroprene elastomer, which composition further contains a minor amount of an ionomer resin which is an ethylene polymer or copolymer containing at least about 50 mole percent acid functional groups, which groups are at least about 50% neutralized by metal ions.
- EPDM ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymer
- acid-modified ethylene polymers which may also include acid-modified EPDM terpolymers, are disclosed to improve the balance of curing and expanding properties of the polymer composition when used to prepare cured expanded materials
- Neither of the aforementioned disclosures addresses the development of a cured polychloroprene or nitrile rubber formulation which not only exhibits improved resistance to ozone or oxygen attack and improved heat stability, but also exhibits a retention and in some cases improvement of important physical properties such as tensile strength, elongation, modulus and resistance to abrasion.
- the present invention provides for polychloroprene and nitrile rubber compositions and vulcanizates thereof having improved resistance to chemical attack comprising a uniform mixture of polychloroprene or nitrile elastomer and from about 10 to about 60% by weight based on the content of total elastomer in the composition of a carboxylated ethylene-propylene rubber.
- the blend of this invention may be readily covulcanized and formed into shaped, heat resistant and oil resistant articles such as automotive drive belts and automotive hoses which not only exhibit improved resistance to oxygen and ozone attack but also have retained or enhanced physical properties such as abrasion resistance, modulus, elongation and tensile strength.
- the carboxylated ethylene-propylene copolymer rubber (EPR) useful for forming the blends of this invention are prepared from ethylene and ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons including cyclic, alicyclic and acyclic, containing from 3 to 28 carbons, e.g. 2 to 18 carbons.
- These ethylene copolymers may contain from 30 to 85 wt. % ethylene preferably 40 to 80 wt. % of ethylene and 15 to 70 wt. %, preferably 20-60 wt. % of one or more C 3 to C 2 g, preferably C 3 to C 18 , more preferably C 3 to Cg, alpha olefins.
- Copolymers of ethylene and propylene are most preferred.
- Other alpha-olefins suitable in place of propylene to form the copolymer, or to be used in combination with ethylene and propylene, to form a terpolymer, tetrapolymer, etc include 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, 1-octene, 1-nonene, 1-decene, etc; also branched chain alpha-olefins , such as 4-methyl-l-pentene, 4-methyl-l-hexene, 5-methylpentene-l, 4, 4-dimethyl-l-pentene, and 6-methylheptene-l, etc. and mixtures thereof.
- copolymer or EPR as used herein, unless otherwise indicated, includes terpolymers, tetrapolymers , etc. , preferably of ethylene, said C 3 _ 28 alpha-olef in and/or a non-conjugated diolefin or mixtures of such diolefins which may also be used.
- the amount of the non-conjugated diolefin will generally range from about 0.5 to 20 wt. percent, preferably about 1 to about 7 wt. percent, based on the total amount of ethylene and alpha-olef in present.
- Representative examples of non-conjugated dienes that may be used as the third monomer in the terpolymer include:
- a. Straight chain acyclic dienes such as: 1,4-hexadiene; 1,5-heptadiene; 1,6-octadiene.
- Branched chain acyclic dienes such as: 5-methyl-l, 4-hexadiene; 3 , 7-dimethyl 1, 6-octadiene; 3,7-dimethyl 1,7-octadiene; and the mixed isomers of dihydro-myrcene and dihydro-cymene .
- c. Single ring alicyclic dienes such as:
- Multi-single ring alicyclic dienes such as:
- Multi-ring alicyclic fused and bridged ring dienes such as: tetrahydroindene ; methyl tetrahydroindene; dicyclopentadiene; bicyclo (2.2.1) hepta 2,5-diene; alkyl, alkenyl, alkylidene, ⁇ ycloalkenyl and cycloalkylidene norbornenes such as: ethyl norbornene ; 5-methylene-6-methyl-2-norbornene; 5-methylene-6 , 6-dimethyl-2-norbornene ; 5-propenyl-2-norbornene ;
- the most preferred EPDM elastomer contains from about 60 to about 80% by weight ethylene, from about 15 to about 35% by weight propylene and from about 3 to about 7% by weight of non-conjugated diene.
- carboxylated refers to EPR polymers as described above which have been modified by inclusion into the polymer chain of from about 0.05 to about 10% by weight of an unsaturated polycarboxylic acid or lower alkyl esters or anhydrides thereof.
- the reaction of the EPR with an unsaturated mono or polycarboxylic acid, and derivatives thereof, can be carried out in the presence of a free radical source.
- the EPR may be reacted with unsaturated mono or polycarboxylic acids, and derivatives thereof, at temperatures generally less than 300° C. , preferably from about 150°-250° C, in the presence of free radical sources.
- free radical sources are, for example peroxides such as ditertiary butyl peroxide, tertiary butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, p-menthane peroxide, p-menthane hydroperoxide compounds or azo compounds, such as azobis (isobutyronitrile) , or irradiation sources.
- Suitable irradiation sources include, for example, those from cobalt, uranium, thorium, and the like and ultraviolet light.
- organic unsaturated polycarboxylic acid, anhydride or esters thereof, based on the weight of the EPR can be used.
- the amount of peroxide or free radical agent used is generally quite low being of the order of about 0.01 to about 0.5 percent based on the weight of the EPR.

- Organic peroxides may also be used as curing agents.
- the zinc or magnesium oxide is normally present at a level of from about 1 to about 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of elastomer blend, and the sulfur and supplemental curing agents or curing accelerators, where used, may be present at a level of from about 0.1 to about 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of elastomer blend.
