Abstract
The antisticking and antiblocking properties of ethylene/methyl or ethyl acrylate/1,4-butenedioic acid monoalkyl ester terpolymers is improved by mixing with said terpolymer a small quantity of a C.sub.12 -C.sub.24 straight chain alkyl or alkenyl acid phosphate or a C.sub.12 -C.sub.24 straight chain alkyl- or alkenyloxypoly(ethyleneoxy) acid phosphate.
Claims8
A composition comprising an elastomeric copolymer derived from component monomers consisting essentially of:
- (a) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of methyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate,
- (b) at least one monoalkylester of 1,4-butenedioic acid, wherein said alkyl moiety contains 1-6 carbon atoms, and
- (c) ethylene,
- and 0.1-10 parts per 100 parts of said copolymer of at least one phosphate ester selected from the group consisting of C.sub.12 -C.sub.24 straight chain alkyl and alkenyl acid phosphates and C.sub.12 -C.sub.24 straight chain alkyl- and alkenyloxypoly(ethyleneoxy) acid phosphates containing 1-4 ethyleneoxy groups.
A method of improving the antisticking and antiblocking properties of an elastomeric copolymer derived from component monomers consisting essentially of:
- (a) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of methyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate,
- (b) at least one monoalkylester of 1,4-butenedioic acid, wherein said alkyl moiety contains 1-6 carbon atoms, and
- (c) ethylene,
- said method comprising mixing with said copolymer 0.1-10 parts per 100 parts of said copolymer of at least one phosphate ester selected from the group consisting of C.sub.12 -C.sub.24 straight chain alkyl or alkenyl acid phosphates and C.sub.12 -C.sub.14 straight chain alkyl- or alkenyloxypoly(ethyleneoxy) acid phosphates.
