PROCESS FOR TREATING CHEMICALLY STABILIZED, ADHESIVE ACTIVATED POLYESTER MATERIAL, POLYESTER MATERIAL TREATED BY THE PROCESS AND AN IMPROVED FINISH COMPOSITION

摘要

The aging period for chemically stabilized, adhesive activated polyester material can be reduced by contacting the material before it is substantially drawn or stretched with a composition containing a defined epoxide compound catalyzed with ions of at least one of potassium, cesium, rubidium or ammonium. at a pH of between about 7.5 to about 13.0. The composition preferably also contains chloride, bromide or iodide ions which stabilizes the pH and/or an amine which improves adhesion to rubber.
