Abstract
Abstract Dual cure site acrylate rubbers having both carboxyl and active halogen groups are compounded with a combination of 2,3-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole and a Group IB, IIB, IVA, VA, or VIA metal compound of a tetraalkyl thiuram sulfide to provide compounded acrylate rubbers having an excellent scorch/cure rate balance and desirable physical properties in the vulcanizates thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A composition comprising (1) an acrylate rubber containing (a) from about 40 percent to about 98 percent by weight of an acrylate of the formula ##STR4## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl radical containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms, an alkoxyalkyl, an alkylthioalkyl, and a cyanoalkyl radical containing 2 to about 12 carbon atoms, (b) from about 0.1 percent to about 30 percent by weight of a halogen-containing monomer selected from the group consisting of halogen-containing vinylene hydrocarbons and halogen-containing vinyl monomers having the halogen group at least two carbon atoms removed from an oxygen atom, (c) from about 0.1 percent to about 20 percent by weight of an unsaturated carboxyl-containing monomer, and (d) up to 35 percent by weight of a copolymerizable monomer containing a terminal vinylidene group, and (2) as the curative, vulcanizing amounts of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole and a Group IB, IIB, IVA, VA or VIA metal salt of a tetraalkyl thiuram sulfide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
A composition comprising (1) an acrylate rubber containing (a) from about 40 percent to about 98 percent by weight of an acrylate of the formula ##STR4## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl radical containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms, an alkoxyalkyl, an alkylthioalkyl, and a cyanoalkyl radical containing 2 to about 12 carbon atoms, (b) from about 0.1 percent to about 30 percent by weight of a halogen-containing monomer selected from the group consisting of halogen-containing vinylene hydrocarbons and halogen-containing vinyl monomers having the halogen group at least two carbon atoms removed from an oxygen atom, (c) from about 0.1 percent to about 20 percent by weight of an unsaturated carboxyl-containing monomer, and (d) up to 35 percent by weight of a copolymerizable monomer containing a terminal vinylidene group, and (2) as the curative, vulcanizing amounts of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole and a Group IB, IIB, IVA, VA or VIA metal salt of a tetraalkyl thiuram sulfide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
143 words
A composition of claim 1 wherein (1) is an acrylate rubber of (a) from about 65 percent to about 98 percent by weight of an acrylate wherein R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl radicals containing 1 to about 10 carbon atoms and alkoxyalkyl radicals containing 2 to about 8 carbon atoms, (b) from about 0.2 percent to about 15 percent by weight of a halogen-containing monomer, (c) from about 0.2 percent to about 10 percent by weight of a carboxyl-containing monomer, and (d) up to about 10 percent by weight of a copolymerizable monomer containing a terminal vinylidene group and about 0.4 to about two weight part of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole, 1.0 to 6.0 weight parts of a tetraalkyl thiuram disulfide compound wherein the alkyl groups contain 1 to 6 carbon atoms, all weights based on 100 weight parts of acrylate rubber.
