Abstract
An adhesion assistant or binder composition for bonding polyolefin surfaces with metal surfaces comprising an aqueous dispersion of an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer from 0.5 to 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts of the copolymer of a cross-linking peroxide compound and from 1 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts of the copolymer of a low-molecular-weight 1,2-polybutadiene; as well as a process for producing composite bodies by heat and pressure utilizing the above adhesion assistant between polyolefin surfaces and metal surfaces.
Claims9
A method for bonding a metal surface to a polyolefin surface which comprises applying a layer of an adhesion assistant or binder composition consisting of an aqueous dispersion of an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer containing from 40 to 85 parts by weight of vinyl acetate and having a Mooney viscosity ML-4 of 8 to 40, from 0.5 to 5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the copolymer, of a peroxide compound capable of crosslinking polymers, and from 1 to 10 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the copolymer, of a low-molecular-weight 1,2-polybutadiene having a molecular weight of from 500 to 10,000, to at least one of a polyolefin surface and a metal surface, allowing the aqueous dispersion to dry, placing said metal surface and said polyolefin surface in contact under pressure and an elevated temperature, and recovering a composite body of a metal surface bonded to a polyolefin surface.
An adhesion assistant or binder composition for use in the production of composite bodies of metal surfaces bonded to polyolefin surfaces consisting of an aqueous dispersion of an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer containing from 40 to 85 parts by weight of vinyl acetate and having a Mooney viscosity ML-4 of 8 to 40, from 0.5 to 5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the copolymer, or a peroxide compound capable of crosslinking polymers, and from 1 to 10 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the copolymer, of a low-molecular-weight 1,2-polybutadiene having a molecular weight of from 500 to 10,000.
