Abstract
Abstract A blend of chlorosulphonated polyethylene elastomer and hardened extract obtained by blowing a gas containing free oxygen at elevated temperatures into a solvent extract of petroleum vacuum distillate or a deasphalted petroleum residue which extract boils above 350° C at atmospheric pressure and contains a major proportion of aromatic hydrocarbons, said hardened extract having a saturated hydrocarbon content of not more than 10% by weight. The hardened extract serves not only to extend the chlorosulfonated polyethylene, but also improves certain physical properties of sheets made from the blend.
