Abstract:
The present invention relates to a shaped article comprising an elastomeric material, a process for making the shaped article and the use of the shaped article for forming an thermal and/or acoustic insulation, acoustic and/or vibration damping, mechanical protection and/or for applications requiring load bearing as well as a structure, such as a pipe, a pipework, a tank or a vessel, having an insulation formed from the shaped article. The shaped article has a planar form with two main sides and a plurality of tapered recesses formed in one of the main sides. The tapered recesses form each a pointed angle and the sum of the pointed angles of all tapered recesses is 300 to 355 degrees. The protrusion of the recesses into the form is more than 20% but not more than 80% of the thickness of the planar form. The shaped articles comprises an expanded and crosslinked elastomeric material, the elastomeric material comprising at least one crosslinked elastomer polymer (A) and at least one crosslinked resin (B), wherein the at least one elastomer polymer (A) and the at least one resin (B) form an interpenetrating network.

Claim (Index 11):
A process for manufacturing the shaped article according to  claim 1  comprising the steps:\n (1) preparing a polymer composition by mixing at least the following components:\n at least one elastomeric polymer (A\u2032), \n at least one least one crosslinkable resin (B\u2032), \n a crosslinking agent (C), and \n an expanding agent (D); \n \n (2) crosslinking and expanding the polymer composition to form the expanded and crosslinked elastomeric material, wherein the elastomeric material has the at least one crosslinked elastomer polymer (A) and the at least one crosslinked resin (B), which form an interpenetrating network, and bringing it into a planar form with two main sides; and \n (3) forming the plurality of tapered recesses in one of the main sides, wherein the tapered recesses form each a pointed angle and the sum of the pointed angles of all tapered recesses is 300 to 355 degrees and the protrusion of the recesses into the form is more than 20% but not more than 80% of the thickness of the planar form.
