Abstract:
Scorch is inhibited during the free-radical crosslinking of a crosslinkable polymer, e.g., an EPDM, by incorporating into the polymer before melt processing and crosslinking a scorch inhibiting amount of a derivative, preferably an ether, ester or urethane derivative, of a TEMPO compound, e.g., 4-hydroxy-tetrahydrocarbylpiperidin-1-oxyl. The scorch inhibitors of this invention perform as well, if not better, than their 4-hydroxy- tetrahydrocarbylpiperidin-1-oxyl counterparts in similar polymer compositions and under similar conditions in terms of scorch inhibition and ultimate degree of crosslinking, but exhibit less volatility and less migration within the polymer composition.

Abstract:
The present invention is an improved free-radical crosslinking process and free-radical crosslinking polymer compositions. The improved process delivers hotter processing conditions, faster crosslinking, or increased crosslinked densities. The crosslinkable polymeric composition comprises (1) a free-radical crosslinkable polymer, (2) a free-radical inducing species, and (3) a crosslinking-temperature-profile modifier.

Abstract:
El chamuscado es inhibido durante la reticulación de radicales libres de un polímero reticulable, por ejemplo, un EPDM, al incorporar en el polímero antes del procesamiento por fusión y reticulación, una cantidad inhibidora de chamuscado de un derivado, de preferencia un derivado de éter, éster o uretano, de un compuesto de TEMPO, por ejemplo, 4-hidroxi-tetrahidrocarbilpipe ridiri-1-oxilo. Los inhibidores de chamuscado de esta invención se desempeñan bien, si no es que mejor, que sus contrapartes de 4-hidroxi-tetrahidrocarbilpiperidin-1-oxilo en composiciones poliméricas similares y bajo condiciones similares en términos de inhibición de chamuscado y grado de reticulación último, pero exhiben menos volatilidad y menos migración dentro de la composición polimérica.
