Abstract
Abstract Crosslinkable polymers and co-polymers are treated with boric acid, boric acid anhydride, or mixtures thereof prior to crosslinking with free radical organic peroxide initiators in the presence of oxygen. This pre-treatment prevents stickiness of the surface of the crosslinked polymer making the crosslinked polymer more commercially acceptable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A process for the crosslinking of crosslinkable polymers or copolymers comprising molding the crosslinkable polymers or copolymers into the desired shaped articles, pretreating the shaped articles in order to prevent the surfaces from being sticky by coating on the shaped articles a member selected from the group consisting of boric acid, boric acid anhydride, and mixtures thereof, and crosslinking the coated shaped articles with free radical initators of organic peroxides in the presence of oxygen wherein the crosslinked shaped articles have non-sticky surfaces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
A process for the crosslinking of crosslinkable polymers or copolymers comprising molding the crosslinkable polymers or copolymers into the desired shaped articles, pretreating the shaped articles in order to prevent the surfaces from being sticky by coating on the shaped articles a member selected from the group consisting of boric acid, boric acid anhydride, and mixtures thereof, and crosslinking the coated shaped articles with free radical initators of organic peroxides in the presence of oxygen wherein the crosslinked shaped articles have non-sticky surfaces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the boric acid, boric acid anhydride and mixtures thereof are blown, painted, or dusted onto the molded articles as a powder.
