| abstract |
Compositions, including hydrocarbon elastomeric block copolymers, such as styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene and styrene-butadiene-styrene with mineral oil and essentially linear (i.e. non-cross-linked) polysiloxanes are made transparent by using polysiloxanes which are miscible with mineral oil. A preferred polysiloxane is polymethyloctyl siloxane. Transparent films, bags, tubes and other articles, especially useful in medical applications, such as catheters, blood tubes and blood bags, can be processed from the compositions. |
