Abstract
Compounds having improved properties of processability and elasticity after heat aging for molded and extruded rubber parts can be prepared by utilizing improved processability EPM and/or EPDM rubber with effective amounts of carbon black prepared in a manner such that it has an average particle size of from 70 to 120 nanometers, a particle size distribution including from 40 to 225 nanometers sized particles, a surface area of 16 to 30 m.sup.2 /g as measured by the BET adsorption, and a structure of 90 to 125 as measured by DBP absorption. The EPM and EPDM rubber useful in accordance with the invention will include those multimodal polymer blends that comprise at least two fractions having different molecular weight and, optionally, monomer composition. The invention compounds find particular use in automotive industry parts requiring high temperature tolerance, such as coolant hoses.
