Method of making heat stable polymeric gelloid composition

A method of making a gelloid composition comprising:

• a) providing a liquid composition comprising a non-silicone liquid polymer having low or no unsaturation, a liquid of from about 20 to 95% by weight based on the weight of the total weight of the liquid and polymer, wherein the non-silicone liquid polymer is selected from the group consisting of butyl rubber, epichlorohydrin rubber, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer rubber, hydrogenated SBR, hydrogenated nitrile rubber and functionalized polyisobutylene, and, wherein the liquid is non-reactive during crosslinking or at least crosslinked to less than about 0.1 crosslinks per weight average molecule, and a filler from 0 to 0.3 volume fraction;
• and
• b) subjecting the liquid composition of a) to a crosslinking means to form a gelloid composition comprising a crosslinked non-silicone polymer having an olefinic unsaturated content of less than 10 mole percent and having at least about 0.1 crosslinks per weight average molecule, having dispersed therein a liquid in an amount of from about 20% to about 95% by weight based on the weight of the liquid polymer, and from 0 to 0.3 volume fraction of a filler, said gelloid composition having a storage modulus of (1+2.5 v+14.1 v.sup.2)x dynes/cm.sup.2 wherein x is less than 5.times.10.sup.2 at 30.degree. C. and greater than 5.times.10.sup.3 at 90.degree. C., and v is the volume fraction of the filler and, a dynamic viscosity of (1+2.5 v+14.1 v.sup.2)y poises wherein y is less than 1.times.10.sup.5 at 30.degree. C. and greater than 5.times.10.sup.2 at 90.degree. C. and v is the volume fraction of the filler, and exhibiting first degree blocking.
