A curable thermoplastic elastomeric blend comprising: (a) from 15 to 60
weight percent of a polyalkylene phthalate polyester polymer or copolymer
and; (b) from 40 to 85 weight percent of a polyacrylate or
polyethylene/acrylate rubber in combination with an effective amount of
peroxide free-radical initiator and an organic diene co-agent to
cross-link which upon extrusion or injection molding dynamically
cross-link producing a melt processible thermoplastic elastomeric
composition having a polyalkylene phthalate polyester polymer or
copolymer continuous phase and of a cross-linked polyacrylate or
polyethylene/acrylate rubber disperse phase. Such compositions are useful
in the manufacture of rubber parts having excellent resistance to
lubricating oils and greases.
