From about 50 to about 70% by weight methyl acrylate, from about 0.5 to about 5% by weight of the optional 1,4-butenedioic acid moiety or anhydride or monoalkyl ester thereof, from the remaining copolymerization being ethylene Derived copolymers are disclosed having a number average molecular weight of about 40,000 to about 65,000 and a melt index of about 1 to about 14 g / 10 min. Formulated compositions comprising these copolymers, and cured compositions (ie, vulcanizates) and hoses, dampers, boots, seals, and tubes for automotive and non-automotive applications, fluid handling hoses and turbocharger hoses, and Also disclosed are rubber articles formed from these compounded compositions, such as gaskets. Blends of other polymers with these copolymers are also disclosed. |
