Abstract
Abstract A sulfur curable elastomeric composition is shown which exhibits improved resistance to deformation in hot, high gas content environments, such as oil and gas wells. The composition includes a conjugated diolefin polymer rubber, a low molecular weight polubutadiene and a quantity of randomly oriented flocked fibers.
