A static sealing member is provided that includes a composition having a silane-crosslinked polyolefin elastomer with a density less than 0.90 g/cm3. The static sealing member can exhibit a compression set of from about 5.0% to about 35.0%, as measured according to ASTM D 395 (22 hrs @ 70° C.). The silane-crosslinked polyolefin elastomer can include a first polyolefin having a density less than 0.86 g/cm3, a second polyolefin having a crystallinity less than 40%, a silane crosslinker, a grafting initiator, and a condensation catalyst. |
