Abstract:
A flexible magnetic blend composition is provided which is comprised of high energy ferrite magnetic particles in a flexible high temperature resistant and oil resistant polymer binder. The binder system is preferably a highly saturated nitrile rubber (HSN) or a polymer alloy of the same in which a HSN is the major polymer containing alloying polymers and/or additives which are compatible with processing, subsequent electron beam curing, and final product performance. The binder system is highly loaded usually from 55 to 65 volume percent with the high energy ferrite particles, i. e. , barium and/or strontium ferrite particles, which can produce bonded magnets with a maximum energy product of at least 1. 0 megagauss-oersteds, a remenance, Br, of at least 2000 gauss, a coercive force, H. sub. c, of at least 1800 oersteds, and an intrinsic coercivity, H. sub.
