Adhesive compositions
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to adhesive polymer composites containing at least one nitrile rubber polymer having a Mooney viscosity (ML 1+4 @ 100° C.) below 30, optionally at least one filler and optionally at least one cross-linking agent, a process for preparing the polymer composite wherein at least one nitrile rubber polymer having a Mooney viscosity (ML 1+4 @ 100° C.) below 30, optionally at least one filler and optionally at least one cross-linking agent are mixed and a self-supporting shaped article containing the compound optionally layered on or interposed between one or more supporting means. The present invention also relates to a tape containing the adhesive polymer composite optionally layered on or interposed between one or more supporting means. Further, the present invention relates to a sealant composition containing the adhesive polymer composite.
1. A self-supporting shaped article comprising an adhesive polymer composite which comprises at least one hydrogenated nitrile polymer derived from at least one conjugated diene, at least one alpha, beta-unsaturated nitrile and one or more unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acids or derivative thereof, the polymer having a Mooney viscosity (ML 1+4 @ 100° C.) less than 10, wherein the adhesive polymer composite is layered on or interposed between one or more supporting means, and wherein the self-supporting shaped article is in the form of a tape.
2. The self-supporting shaped article according to claim 1 , wherein the article further comprises at least one supporting means on which the adhesive polymer composite is layered.
3. The self-supporting shaped article according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive polymer composite further comprises at least one filler.
4. The self-supporting shaped article according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive polymer composite further comprises at least one cross-linking agent.
5. The self-supporting shaped article according to claim 1 , wherein the nitrile rubber polymer is hydrogenated and comprises more than 50 percent residual double bound hydrogenation.
6. The self-supporting shaped article according to claim 5 , wherein the hydrogenated nitrile rubber polymer comprises more than 90 percent residual double bound hydrogenation.
7. The self-supporting shaped article according to claim 6 , wherein the hydrogenated nitrile rubber polymer comprises more than 99 percent residual double bound hydrogenation.
