Chlorinated polyethylene as a compatibilizer at various levels was mixed in a Brabender ® internal mixer with different ratios of (acrylonitrile butadiene rubber)/(low‐density polyethylene) that contained industrial marble waste. Vulcanized articles were fabricated. The properties were investigated by cure characteristics, and mechanical and swelling parameters. The natural weathering impact on these properties was also evaluated within the span of 6 to 12 months. Notable improvements were recorded in the cure, and mechanical and swelling behaviors of uncompatibilized and chlorinated polyethylene compatibilized marble waste‐‐filled (acrylonitrile butadiene rubber)/(low‐density polyethylene) blends. Considerable losses in mechanical properties were found for all specimens because of environmental oxidation. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 22:460–469, 2016. © 2015 Society of Plastics Engineers
