Provided are methods of making thermoplastic vulcanizates and thermoplastic vulcanizates made therefrom. The methods can comprise adding vulcanizable elastomer to a reactor; adding a masterbatch comprising a thermoplastic resin and a metal oxide to the reactor; adding a curative to the reactor; and dynamically vulcanizing the elastomer.

Method of making thermoplastic vulcanizates and thermoplastic vulcanizates made therefrom

Provided are compositions comprising a propylene-based elastomer and a polyalphaolefin. The compositions may be particularly useful in elastic film compositions, and especially useful as elastic film layers in nonwoven laminates.

Compositions comprising propylene-based elastomers and polyalphaolefins

A composition comprising (i) a dynamically-cured rubber, (ii) from about 20 to about 300 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin per 100 parts by weight rubber, (iii) from 0.2 to 0.9 parts by weight stannous chloride per 100 parts by weight rubber, and (iv) from 0.25 to 4.0 parts by weight metal oxide per 100 parts by weight rubber.
