The gelloid compositions comprise a crosslinked non-silicone polymer having an olefinic unsaturated content of less than 10 mole percent and having from 0.1 to 3 crosslinks per weight average molecule, having dispersed therein a liquid in an amount of from 20% to 95% by weight based on the weight of the dispersed liquid and polymer, and from 0 to 0.3 volume fraction of a filler, the composition having a storage modulus of (1+2.5v+14.1v 2 )x dynes/cm 2 where x is less than 5x 10 5 at 30°C and greater than 5x 110 3 at 90°C, and v is the volume fraction of the filler, and having a dynamic viscosity of (1+2.5v+14.1v 2 )y poises where y is less than 1x10 5 at 30°C and greater than 3x10 3 at 90°C and v is the volume fraction of the filler, and exhibiting first degree blocking. These compositions have good heat stability, low water and oil permeability, good adhesion and can usefully provide a layer of electrically insulating, stress grading or conducting material. |
