Abstract
This invention relates to a method for coating an elastomeric component with a coating that has a low coefficient of friction and the articles formed by the method. The method includes preparing an elastomeric coating; applying the coating to a substrate; contacting the coated substrate with an elastomeric compound; and heating the elastomeric compound and the coated substrate under pressure to bond the coating to the elastomeric compound and form a coated elastomeric component.
Claims14
A method for coating an elastomeric component comprising:
- preparing an elastomeric coating comprising an elastomeric material having a coefficient of friction and a lubricating constituent;
- applying the coating to a substrate;
- contacting the coated substrate with an elastomeric compound;
- heating the elastomeric compound and the coated substrate under pressure to bond the coating to the elastomeric compound and form a coated elastomeric component;
- and
- separating the substrate from the coated elastomeric component.
