Adhesion of olefin copolymer rubber to nylon textile

An adhesive composition, which adheres firmly to nylon fabric when vulcanized in contact therewith, comprising a mixture of

• A. a reaction product of an elastomeric terpolymer consisting of ethylene, propylene and a copolymerizable non-conjugated diene with from 0.05 to 15 parts, per 100 parts by weight of the said terpolymer, of an N-haloamide selected from the group consisting of N-halomonoamides of formula I, N-halohydantoins of formula II, N-halosuccinimides of formula III, N-haloglycolurils of formula IV and trihaloisocyanuric acids of formula V, as follows:
• ##EQU4## wherein R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl having 1 to 8 carbon atoms and cycloalkyl having 5 to 8 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, aralkyl having 7 to 10 carbon atoms and cycloalkyl having 5 to 8 carbon atoms, and X is selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine and iodine;
• ##EQU5## wherein R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are the same or different and are as previously defined for R.sup.1 in formula I, and X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and halogen provided that at least one of them is halogen, said halogen being selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine and iodine;
• ##EQU6## wherein R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are the same or different and are as previously defined for R.sup.1 in formula I, or may be alkylene having 1 to 4 carbon atoms joined directly together or through a chain of up to 4 methylene groups, and X is as previously defined for formula I;
• ##SPC6##
• wherein R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 are the same or different and are hydrogen or as previously defined for R.sup.1 in formula I, and X.sup.3, X.sup.4, X.sup.5 and X.sup.6 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and halogen provided that at least one of them is halogen, said halogen being selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine and iodine;
• and ##SPC7##
• wherein X.sup.7, X.sup.8 and X.sup.9 are the same or different and are halogen selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine and iodine,
• with (B) from 0.2 to 10 parts, per 100 parts by weight of the said terpolymer, of a resorcinol-alkyl aldehyde condensation product wherein the aldehyde contains from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, said condensation product being made by condensation, in alcoholic or aqueous medium in the presence of an acid catalyst at a temperature up to reflux temperature, of from 1/2 to 1 mole of said aldehyde per mole of resorcinol.
