Thermoplastic compositions are described that exhibit heat stability in addition to flexibility. Methods for forming the thermoplastic compositions are also described. The compositions include a polyarylene sulfide, an impact modifier and a heat stabilizer. The composition includes the impact modifier in a relatively large amount in combination with the heat stabilizer to provide long term heat stability to the composition and products formed therefrom such as coated wires and cables.

Stabilized flexible thermoplastic composition and products formed therefrom

A polymer composition that can exhibit excellent strength and flexibility under a variety of different conditions is provided. More particularly, the polymer composition contains a polyarylene sulfide, epoxy-functional polymeric impact modifier, and a crosslinking system that includes a metal carboxylate. In certain cases, the crosslinking system may also employ a crosslinking agent that is 'multi-functional' to the extent that it contains at least two reactive, functional groups.

Crosslinkable polyarylene sulfide composition

Thermoplastic compositions are described that exhibit resistance to hydrocarbon absorption. Methods for forming the thermoplastic compositions are also described. Formation methods include combining a polyarylene sulfide with a first impact modifier and a second impact modifier such that the impact modifiers are dispersed throughout the polyarylene sulfide. A crosslinking agent can be combined with the other components of the composition following dispersal of the additives throughout the composition to dynamically crosslink at least one of the first and second impact modifiers.

Thermoplastic composition with low hydrocarbon uptake

Injection molded parts with a small dimension that exhibit high heat resistance are described. Thermoplastic compositions that can be utilized to form the injection molded parts are described. The thermoplastic composition includes a polyarylene sulfide and a crosslinked impact modifier. The thermoplastic composition can also include siloxane polymers, thermoplastic elastomers, or other additives that can further improve the characteristics of the injection molded parts.
