Abstract:
A composition for absorbing and binding of liquid organic contaminants, said composition comprising between 50% and about 100% by weight of at least one cycloolefin copolymer containing 60 to 99% by weight based on the total weight of the cyclic olefin copolymer polymerized units which are derived from at least one cyclic olefin and 0.1% to 99% by weight based on the total weight of the cyclic olefin copolymer of at least one acyclic olefin of the formula VII in which R9, R10, R11 and R12 are identical or different and are a hydrogen atom or a C1-C20-hydrocarbon radical and said composition has properties useful for absorbing and binding liquid organic contaminants.
