Abstract
A method for reducing the surface tack of EPDM and related elastomers is provided. The method involves coating the surfaces of the elastomer with particulate cellulose. Sheets of cellulose coated elastomer can be subjected to rolling up and curing operations without encountering surface sticking problems. In addition, the cellulose coated surfaces of the elastomer can be bonded together for the purpose of forming splices or seams without the necessity for first removing the cellulose coating.
