Claims
- 1. A plasto-elastomeric composition comprising EPDM elastomers and polyolefins and having the elastomeric phase partially or fully crosslinked, wherein crosslinking is achieved by means of salicylic acid and a non-halogenated phenolic resin of formula ##STR3## wherein M.sub.1 and M.sub.2, which may be the same or different, are --CH.sub.2 -- or --CH.sub.2 --CO--CH.sub.2 -- radicals,
- Z is an aryl or alkyl radical containing from 4 to 16 carbon atoms, and
- n is an integer from 0 to 6.
- 2. A plasto-elastomeric composition according to claim 1, wherein the phenolic resin is aphenol-formaldehyde resin of formula ##STR4##
- 3. A plasto-elastomeric composition according to claim 1, wherein the olefinic monomer from which the polyolefin is obtained is selected from the group consisting of ethylene, propylene, butene-1, pentene-1, hexene-1, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 3-methyl-1-pentene, 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene, 3-methyl-1-hexene and 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene.
- 4. A plasto-elastomeric composition according to claim 1, wherein the EPDM terpolymer consists of at least two olefinic monomers and a coniugated or not coniugated diene monomer.
- 5. A plasto-elastomeric composition according to claim 1, wherein the diene monomer is selected from the group consisting of ethylidene-norbornene, 1,4-hexadiene and dicyclopentadiene.
- 6. A plasto-elastomeric composition according to claim 1, wherein salicylic acid is present in the composition in an amount of from 0.05 to 12 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of EPDM elastomer.
- 7. A plasto-elastomeric composition according to claim 1, wherein the salicylic acid: non-halogenated phenolic resin weight ratio is from 0.1:1 to 0.8:1.
- 8. A plasto-elastomeric composition according to claim 1 containing from 10 to 90% of polyoefin and from 90 to 10% EPDM terpolymer.
