Abstract
Abstract A new use for the liquid reaction product of a polyurethane and an amine or alkanol amine at an elevated temperature as a plasticizer for acrylonitrile rubbers in combination with certain ester plasticizers which make the otherwise incompatible reaction products compatible with the acrylonitrile elastomer, and a printing roller composition incorporating the reaction product as a plasticizer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A method for modifying the hardness of an acrylonitrile rubber which comprises mixing with the rubber prepolymer and curing agents a proportion of plasticizer sufficient to modify the hardness of the cured rubber to the desired degree and curing the rubber-plasticizer mix, said plasticizer comprising a mixture, by weight of from 25% to 75% of an ester plasticizer and from 75% to 25% of the viscous liquid reaction product of a polyurethane elastomer with an amine at an elevated temperature, said ester plasticizer having the general compatibility characteristics, with respect to said rubber and said polyurethane reaction product, of dioctyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, dioctyl adipate, and dioctyl sebacate.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
108 words
A method for modifying the hardness of an acrylonitrile rubber which comprises mixing with the rubber prepolymer and curing agents a proportion of plasticizer sufficient to modify the hardness of the cured rubber to the desired degree and curing the rubber-plasticizer mix, said plasticizer comprising a mixture, by weight of from 25% to 75% of an ester plasticizer and from 75% to 25% of the viscous liquid reaction product of a polyurethane elastomer with an amine at an elevated temperature, said ester plasticizer having the general compatibility characteristics, with respect to said rubber and said polyurethane reaction product, of dioctyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, dioctyl adipate, and dioctyl sebacate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said amine is taken from the group consisting of dibutylamine, dibenzylamine, diethanolamine, and butylbenzylamine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method as defined in claim 1 wherein said polyurethane is a diisocyanate-cured polyester.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method as defined in claim 1 wherein said plasticizer mixture comprises approximately equal parts of ester and said polyurethane reaction product.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
80 words
A printing roller composition comprising an acrylonitrile elastomer, a vulcanizing agent in sufficient proportion to vulcanize said elastomer, and a mixed plasticizer, comprised, by weight, of from 25 to 75% of an ester plasticizer and from 75 to 25% of the viscous liquid reaction product of a polyurethane elastomer with an amine at an elevated temperature, in sufficient proportion relative to said elastomer to produce a composition hardness of from 20 to 50 on the Shore "A" scale when vulcanized.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
80 words
A printing roller composition comprising an acrylonitrile elastomer, a vulcanizing agent in sufficient proportion to vulcanize said elastomer, and a mixed plasticizer, comprised, by weight, of from 25 to 75% of an ester plasticizer and from 75 to 25% of the viscous liquid reaction product of a polyurethane elastomer with an amine at an elevated temperature, in sufficient proportion relative to said elastomer to produce a composition hardness of from 20 to 50 on the Shore "A" scale when vulcanized.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
35 words
The combination as set forth in claim 5 wherein said mixed plasticizer is comprised of approximately equal parts of said ester plasticizer and said reaction product and comprises in turn approximately 36% of said composition.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
The combination as set forth in claim 5 wherein said ester plasticizer is taken from the group consisting of dioctyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, dioctyl adipate, and dioctyl sebacate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
The combination as set forth in claim 5 wherein said amine is taken from the group consisting of dibutylamine, dibenzylamine, diethanolamine and butylbenzylamine.
