An article made from an elastomeric polymer composition

A method for manufacturing a weather seal, hose, or belt product comprising the steps of:

• (I) mixing or compounding:
• (A) at least one ethylene-olefinic monomer-silane polymer;
• wherein the polymer has an olefinic monomer content of from 5 weight percent to 50 weight percent and a silane content of from 0.1 weight percent to 2.5 weight percent;
• and wherein the polymer has a melt index of from 0.1 gram/10 minutes to 10.0 grams/10 minutes;
• and (B) at least one silanol condensation catalyst;
• (II) forming the reactive mixture composition from step (I) into a shape of a finished part or article;
• and
• (III) curing the finished part or article from step (II) by exposing the finished part or article from step (II) to humidity and/or heat to form a cured finish part or article.

An article comprising a weather seal, a hose, a belt, or profile article prepared using a moisture- and/or thermo-curable elastomeric polymer composition comprising:

• (A) at least one ethylene-olefinic monomer-silane polymer;
• wherein the polymer has an olefinic monomer content of from 5 weight percent to 50 weight percent and a silane content of from 0.1 weight percent to 2.5 weight percent;
• and wherein the polymer has a melt index of from 0.1 gram/10 minutes to 10.0 grams/10 minutes;
• and (B) at least one silanol condensation catalyst;
• and
• (B) at least one silanol condensation catalyst.
