Abstract
This invention relates to improved adhesion compositions and textile materials and articles treated therewith. The improved adhesion composition comprises a non-crosslinked resorcinol-formaldehyde and/or resorcinol-furfural condensate (or a phenol-formaldehyde condensate that is soluble in water), a rubber latex, and an aldehyde component such as 2-furfuraldehyde. The composition may be applied to textile substrates and used for improving the adhesion between the treated textile substrates and rubber materials. End-use articles that contain the treated textile-rubber composite include, without limitation, automobile tires, belts, and hoses as well as printing blankets.
Claims16
A method for synthesizing an improved adhesion composition comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming an aqueous mixture comprising (i) a water soluble, phenolic condensate material selected from the group consisting of a non-crosslinked phenolic condensate, a non-crosslinked resorcinol-furfuraldehyde condensate, and a phenol-formaldehyde condensate;
- (ii) a latex component;
- (iii) a base component;
- and (iv) an aldehyde component represented by structure (1), (2) or (3):
- wherein X is selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur;
- wherein R1, R2 and R3 may be independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, halo, hydrogen, and carboxylic functional groups;
- wherein the water soluble condensate material contains sufficient resorcinol functional groups or phenol groups to allow for a reaction between the condensate material and the aldehyde component;
- and
- (b) allowing the mixture to age at room temperature for at least about 8 to 24 hours.
A method for synthesizing a resorcinolic resin comprising the steps of:
- (a) mixing 2-furfuraldehyde with a water soluble, phenolic condensate material selected from the group consisting of a non-crosslinked phenolic condensate, a non-crosslinked resorcinol-furfuraldehyde condensate, and a phenol-formaldehyde condensate;
- (b) adding a base component to the mixture of step (a);
- (c) adding a latex component to the mixture of step (b);
- and
- (d) allowing the mixture to age at room temperature for at least about 8 to 24 hours.
