Abstract
Abstract An elastomer blend comprising: (a) a polyolefin selected from the group consisting of (i) polyethylene; (ii) a hydrolyzable copolymer of ethylene and silane; and (iii) a hydrolyzable silane modified polyethylene; and (b) an ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer rubber, with or without silane modification, said terpolymer when silane modified being hydrolyzable, provided that, when component (a) is polyethylene, the terpolymer is silane modified, the blend of components (a) and (b) having the following physical properties: (i) Secant Modulus in the range of about 100 psi to about 10,000 psi; (ii) 100% Modulus in the range of about 100 psi to about 1500 psi; and (iii) Shore A hardness in the range of about 10 to about 100.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
An elastomer blend consisting essentially of: (a) a polyolefin selected from the group consisting of (i) polyethylene; (ii) a hydrolyzable copolymer of ethylene and silane; and (iii) a hydrolyzable silane modified polyethylene; and (b) an ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer rubber, with or without silane modification, said terpolymer when silane modified being hydrolyzable, provided that, when component (a) is polyethylene, the terpolymer is silane modified, the blend of components (a) and (b) containing no more than about 40 percent by weight of component (a) based on the combined weight of components (a) and (b) and having the following properties: (i) Secant Modulus in the range of about 100 psi to about 10,000 psi; (ii) 100% Modulus in the range of about 100 psi to about 1500 psi; and (iii) Shore A hardness in the range of about 10 to about 100.
