Abstract

Abstract Compositions based on silane-grafted olefin polymers which are cross-linkable after shaping and which contain from 0.1 to 10% by weight of crystalline zeolites in powder form and, preferably, also a cross-linking coagent consisting of an aryl-carboxilic acid and/or a cross-linking catalyst.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim 55 words
A composition crosslinkable by exposure to irradiation with electromagnetic microwaves or to water in liquid or vapor phasse, which comprises an olefin polymer having grafted thereon an unsaturated silane containing hydrolyzable groups, and 0.1 to 20% of a hydrated, partially dehydrated or dehydrated zeolite in powder form based on the weight of the olefin polymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 55 words
A composition crosslinkable by exposure to irradiation with electromagnetic microwaves or to water in liquid or vapor phasse, which comprises an olefin polymer having grafted thereon an unsaturated silane containing hydrolyzable groups, and 0.1 to 20% of a hydrated, partially dehydrated or dehydrated zeolite in powder form based on the weight of the olefin polymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 11 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein the zeolite is dehydrated.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 18 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein the zeolite is zeolite A, X, Y or P or hydroxysodalite.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein 80% by weight of the zeolite consists of aggregates having a dimension between 1 and 15micrometers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 50 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein the silane has the general formula R n Si(--O--CH 2 CH 2 R"--OR') 4-n wherein n=1 or 2, R' is an alkyl group having 1-4 C atoms, R" is H or CH 3 and R is a monovalent unsaturated hydrocarbon or hydrocarbonoxy radical.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 24 words
A composition according to claim 1, comprising 1 to 25 parts of an arylcarboxylic acid crosslinking co-agent per 100 parts by weight of zeolite.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 15 words
A composition according to claim 6, wherein the arylcarboxylic acid is supported on the zeolite.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 50 words
A storage stable, crosslinkable composition prepared by melt kneading a mixture comprising an olefin polymer, an unsaturated silane containing hydrolyzable groups, 0.1 to 20% of a hydrated, partially dehydrated or dehydrated zeolite in powder form based on the weight of the olefin polymer, a grafting catalyst and a crosslinking catalyst.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 50 words
A storage stable, crosslinkable composition prepared by melt kneading a mixture comprising an olefin polymer, an unsaturated silane containing hydrolyzable groups, 0.1 to 20% of a hydrated, partially dehydrated or dehydrated zeolite in powder form based on the weight of the olefin polymer, a grafting catalyst and a crosslinking catalyst.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 11 words
A composition according to claim 8, wherein the zeolite is dehydrated.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 18 words
A composition according to claim 8, wherein the zeolite is zeolite A, X, Y or P or hydroxysodalite.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 24 words
A composition according to claim 8, wherein 80% by weight of the zeolite consists of aggregates having a dimension between 1 and 15 micrometers.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 50 words
A composition according to claim 8, wherein the silane has the general formula R n Si(--O--CH 2 CH 2 R"--OR') 4-n wherein n=1 or 2, R' is an alkyl group having 1-4 C atoms, R" is H or CH 3 and R is a monovalent unsaturated hydrocarbon or hydrocarbonoxy radical.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 24 words
A composition according to claim 8, comprising 1 to 25 parts of an arylcarboxylic acid crosslinking co-agent per 100 parts by weight of zeolite.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 15 words
A composition according to claim 13, wherein the arylcarboxylic acid is supported on the zeolite.
