Zusammenfassung:Provided are methods for producing a thermoplastic vulcanizate. One method includes charging vulcanizable rubber to a reactor; charging a masterbatch of thermoplastic resin and a catalyst for a phenolic resin curative to the reactor; charging a phenolic resin curative to the reactor; and dynamically vulcanizing the rubber with the phenolic resin curative in the presence of the catalyst. Also provided are thermoplastic vulcanizates made by the methods of the invention.
