Abstract
Crosslinkable ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resins are rendered amenable to forming adherent laminates with cross-linkable silicone rubber by dusting the surface of either the resin or rubber, or both, with a bonding agent.
Claims19
A method of improving the bonding of crosslinked ethylene-vinyl acetate to crosslinked silicone rubber which comprises coating the surface of at least one of said ethylene-vinyl acetate and silicone rubber with a powdery bonding agent in an amount of about 0.00001-0.001 gram per square inch of surface area prior to adhering the ethylene-vinyl acetate to the silicone rubber and crosslinking the resulting laminate, wherein said bonding agent is silica or an admixture of silica and a member selected from the group of silane and polyfunctional monomer.
A laminate comprising a crosslinked ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer ply adhered to a ply of crosslinked silicone rubber, the interfacial surfaces of said plies being in contact with a powder bonding agent in an amount of 0.00001-0.001 gram per square inch of planar surface, said bonding agent being silica or an admixture of silica with a material selected from the group consisting of silane and polyfunctional monomer.
An insulated ignition wire comprising a central conductor, a first insulating material surrounding the central conductor and a second insulating material surrounding the first insulating material and bonded thereto, wherein said first insulating material is crosslinked ethylene-vinyl acetate and said second insulating material is crosslinked silicone rubber and wherein the interfacial surfaces of said first and second insulating material are bonded by a powder bonding agent in an amount of 0.00001-0.001 gram per square inch of surface, said bonding agent being silica or a mixture of silica and a member of the group consisting of a silane and polyfunctional monomer.
