Abstract
This invention relates to improved adhesion compositions and textile materials and articles treated therewith. The improved adhesion composition comprises a non-crosslinked resorcinol-formaldehyde and/or resorcinol-furfural condensate (or a phenol-formaldehyde condensate that is soluble in water), a rubber latex, and an aldehyde component such as 2-furfuraldehyde. The composition may be applied to textile substrates and used for improving the adhesion between the treated textile substrates and rubber materials. End-use articles that contain the treated textile-rubber composite include, without limitation, automobile tires, belts, and hoses as well as printing blankets.
Claims15
A composition for adhering textile materials and rubber-containing articles comprising:
- a) a compound selected from a non-crosslinked resorcinol-formaldehyde condensate, a resorcinol-furfural condensate, a phenol-formaldehyde condensate, and mixtures thereof;
- b) a latex component;
- and
- c) an aldehyde component selected from 2,3- and 2,5-thiophenedicarboxaldehyde, 2,5-furfuryldicarboxaldehyde, 1,2-, 1,3- and 1,4-phthalic dicarboxaldehyde, 2,6-pyridinedicarboxaldehyde, 2-, 3- and 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde, 3-(2-furyl)acrolein, propylaldehyde, butyraldehyde, iso-butylaldehyde, o-sulfo benzoic aldehyde, and compounds of the formula (1), (2) or (3):
- wherein
- X is O, S or NH, and
- R1-R3 each independently are selected from H, alkyl, aryl, halogen, and carboxylic functional groups;
- and
- wherein the weight ratio of compound “a” to aldehyde “c” is from 4:3.2 to 4:4.0.
