| abstract |
The invention provides a polymer composition which comprises a crosslinkable or crosslinked blend of an elastomer and a thermoplastic polymer, the elastomer comprising a polymer of ethylene with an ethylenically unsaturated aliphatic ester, and the elastomer and the thermoplastic polymer being substantially free of halogen-containing substituents. The preferred compositions may be used as jacketing materials for wire and cable, as harnessing materials, and in the manufacture of heat recoverable articles having improved oil resistance and thermal ageing properties. |
