The present invention relates to a shaped article containing at least one
peroxide curable compound containing a butyl-like polymer(s) without any
conjugated aliphatic diene in its composition, said polymer containing
less than 15 wt. % of solid matter insoluble in boiling cyclohexane under
reflux for 60 min. The present invention also relates to a sealing
material and a medical device containing at least one peroxide-curable
compound containing a butyl-like polymer containing less than 15 wt. % of
solid matter insoluble in boiling cyclohexane under reflux for 60 min.
Further, the present invention relates to a process for producing a
butyl-like polymer having no conjugated aliphatic diene in its
composition and containing less than 15 wt. % of solid matter insoluble
in boiling cyclohexane under reflux for 60 min. In addition, the present
invention relates to a process the manufacturing of the inventive
compound wherein the elastomeric polymer is mixed with at least one
filler and at least one peroxide curing system in a mixing means.
