1. A process for crosslinking an elastomer(s), a plastic(s) or an adhesive system(s) comprising the step of adding a crosslinking agent to the elastomer(s), plastic(s) or adhesive system wherein the crosslinking agent comprises a hydrogenated carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber (HXNBR) that has a triphenylphosphine molecularly dispersed therein, such that no difference in concentration occurs between the HXNBR and the triphenylphosphine on a dimensional scale greater than 1 micrometer.
