Abstract
Crosslinkable ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resins are rendered amenable to forming adherent laminates with crosslinkable silicone rubber by coating the surface of the ethylene-vinyl acetate resin with a solution of a silane or a member of the class of compounds known as polyfunctional monomers prior to adhering the resin to the silicone rubber.
Claims12
A method of improving the bonding of crosslinkable ethylene-vinyl acetate with crosslinkable silicone rubber which comprises coating the surface of at least one of said ethylene-vinyl acetate and silicone rubber with a solution of a bonding agent in an inert solvent and evaporating the inert solvent from said surface prior to adhering the ethylene-vinyl acetate to the silicone rubber and crosslinking the resulting laminate, wherein said bonding agent is selected from the group consisting of silanes and polyfunctional monomers.
A laminate comprising a crosslinked ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer ply adhered to a ply of crosslinked silicone rubber by a surface bonding agent selected from the group consisting of silane and polyfunctional monomers.
An insulated ignition wire comprising a central conductor, a first insulating material surrounding the central conductor and a second insulating material surrounding the first insulated material and bonded thereto by a surface bonding agent, wherein said first insulating material is a crosslinked ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, said second insulating material is crosslinked silicone rubber, and said bonding agent is selected from the group consisting of silane and polyfunctional monomers.
