Abstract
Disclosed herein are curable compositions comprising a chloroelastomer, a free radical generating compound and an unsaturated metal compound coagent. Such compositions cure well, exhibit good (i.e. low) compression set resistance and process well (i.e. have reduced polymer viscosity compared to similar compositions not containing the unsaturated metal compound coagent).
Claims16
A curable chloroelastomer composition comprising:
- A) a chloroelastomer;
- B) a free radical generating compound;
- and
- C) an unsaturated metal compound coagent having the formula Y(4-n)MXn wherein Y is selected from alkyl, aryl, carboxylic acid, or alkyl ester groups;
- M is selected from Si, Ge, Sn, or Pb;
- X is an allyl group CR1R2CR3═CR4R5, vinyl group CR1═CR2R3, allenyl group CR1═C═CR2R3, alkynyl group C≡CR1, or propargyl group CR1R2C≡CR3;
- R1-R5 are selected independently from the group consisting of H, F, alkyl, aryl, heterocycle, or perfluoroalkyl groups;
- and n is 1, 2, or 3.
