Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides methods for making shelf-stable fluidizable particles that comprise mixing from 35 wt. % to 89.95 wt. %, based on total solids, of particles of one or more vulcanizate having a sieve particle size of from 10 to 800 μm, 10 to 65 wt. %, based on total solids, of one or more thermoplastic polymer in the form of an emulsion of a thermoplastic polymer in the presence of from 0.05 to 3 wt. %, based on total solids, of a passivating agent, to form a moist mixture followed by drying the moist mixture to form fluidizable particles such that the total solids content of the mixture remains 65 wt. % or more throughout processing. In addition, the invention provides plasticizer free storage stable fluidizable particles and 0colored fluidizable particles.
