b) once the paraffinic mineral oil portion reaches the indicated temperature, add Ethylene Propylene Diene type M (EPDM), maintaining constant temperature and stirring until complete dissolution to generate Mixture 1; c) Add the remaining four fifths of the paraffinic mineral oil to Mix 1 and continue stirring until dissolution is complete while maintaining the temperature; and d) once complete integration of Blend 1 and the remaining four fifths of the paraffinic mineral oil is achieved, filtering the additive to remove any remnants and/or impurities. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An additive to improve processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds, comprising: ethylene propylene diene type M (EPDM) in a range from 0.4% to 1.3% by weight and paraffinic mineral oil in a range of 99.6% to 98.7% by weight. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The additive to improve processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds according to claim 1, wherein the EPDM comprises ethylene, 30.8% propylene, and 3.9% diene. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The additive to improve processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds according to claim 1, wherein the paraffinic mineral oil is selected from SN 600 GI, SN 600 Gil, SN 850, or mixtures thereof. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The additive to improve processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds according to claim 3, wherein the EPDM is 1% by weight and the SN 600 GII is present in 99% by weight. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The additive for improving processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds according to claim 4, wherein the additive has a kinematic viscosity of 114.4 cSt at 40° C. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The additive for improving processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds according to claim 4, wherein the additive has a kinematic viscosity of 33 cSt at 100° C. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The additive for improving the processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds according to claim 4, wherein the additive is free of aromatic components. ### Claim 8 (depends on 3) The additive to improve processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds according to claim 3, wherein the EPDM is by weight and the SN 600 GI is present at 99.14% by weight. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The additive for improving processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds according to claim 8, wherein the additive has a kinematic viscosity of 426.9 cSt at 40° C. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The additive for improving processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds according to claim 8, wherein the additive has a kinematic viscosity of 33.55 cSt at 100° C. ### Claim 11 (depends on 3) The additive to improve processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds according to claim 3, wherein the EPDM is 0.7% by weight and the SN 850 is 99.3% by weight. ### Claim 12 (depends on 3) The additive to improve processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds according to claim 3, wherein the EPDM is by weight and the SN 600 GII in combination with the SN 850 is 99.05% by weight. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The additive for improving processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds according to claim 12, wherein the additive has a kinematic viscosity of 361.3 cSt at 40° C. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The additive for improving processability in the manufacture of ethylene, propylene and diene compounds according to claim 12, wherein the additive has a kinematic viscosity of 33.73 cSt at 100° C. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) A method for producing the additive of claim 1, comprising: heating one fifth of the paraffinic mineral oil to a temperature of 100° C.±5° C.;
