As a polyurea adhesive composition formed by mixing two parts (A and B) together in predetermined relative amounts, Part A and Part B comprising, respectively:
- Part A--a mixture of
- a) a synthetic polymer of di-p-aminobenzoate containing a poly(tetramethyleneglycol) (PTMEG) backbone, and
- b) optionally an aromatic diamine selected from the group consisting of the aromatic diamines used as a chain extender which include but are not limited to methylene dianiline (MDA);
- 4,4'-methylene-bis-3-(chloro-2,6-diethylbenzenamine) (MCDEA);
- diethyltoluenedeamine (DETDA);
- 4,4'-methylene-bis-(2-ethyl-6-methylaniline) (MMEA);

- and dimethylthiotoluenediamine (DMTDA).
- Part B--an isocyanate terminated polyurea prepolymer formed by mixing
- a) a synthetic polymer of di-p-aminobenzoate containing a poly(tetramethyleneglycol (PTMEG) backbone with
- b) a diisocyanate selected from the group consisting of 4,4'methylene diisocyanate (MDI);
- 2,4'-methylene diisocyanate;
- polymeric MDI;
- toluene diisocyanates;
- p- and m-phenylene diisocyanates;
- tetramethylene diisocyanate;
- 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate;
- 1,4-cyclohexylene diisocyanate;
- 4,4'-methylene dicyclohexyl diisocyanate;
- 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate;
- 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate;
- carbodimide modified methylene diisocyanate;
- 1,5-tetrahydronapthalene diisocyanate;
- and mixtures of these.
An elastomer article comprised of at least two elements adhesively adhered together by means of an adhesive comprised of a mixture of part A and part B where part A comprises an aminobenzoate terminated polymer and optionally an aromatic diamine and part B comprises an isocyanate terminated polyurea or polyurethane/urea prepolymer comprising the reaction product of a polyisocyanate, an aminobenzoate terminated polymer and optionally a polyol.
