Claims17
1-4. (canceled)
The thermoplastic vulcanizate of claim 16, where the thermoplastic vulcanizate includes from about 1 to about 20 parts by weight synthetic oil per 100 parts by weight rubber.
(canceled)
The thermoplastic vulcanizate of claim 16, further comprising a tackifler resin.
The thermoplastic vulcanizate of claim 16, further comprising a hardness or adhesion modifier.
The thermoplastic vulcanizate of claim 16, where the thermoplastic vulcanizate is substantially devoid of polyethylene.
(canceled)
The thermoplastic vulcanizate of claim 16, where the rubber includes a dynamically vulcanized elastomeric copolymer deriving from the polymerization of monomer selected from the group consisting of ethylene, propylene, and optionally diene monomer.
A laminate comprising:
- a first layer comprising a fluorine-containing thermoplastic resin or a high-density polyethylene resin;
- and
- a second layer contacting said first layer, where the second layer includes a thermoplastic vulcanizate including:
- a) a dynamically vulcanized rubber;
- b) a thermoplastic resin;
- and
- c) a synthetic oil where the thermoplastic vulcanizate is substantially devoid of mineral oils.
