PROCEDIMIENTO MEJORADO PARA LA ADHESION ENTRE PRODUCTOS DE CAUCHO Y SUS REFUERZOS METALICOS

摘要

A method for improving metal adhesion and metal adhesion retention properties between a vulcanizable rubber composition and brass or brass-plated metallic reinforcing elements includes the steps of applying an adhesion promoting additive to the surface of the vulcanizable rubber composition or the brass or brass-plated metallic reinforcing elements or both, contacting the vulcanizable rubber with the brass or brass-plated metallic reinforcing elements with the adhesion promoting additive therebetween and thereafter curing the rubber. Metal-reinforced rubber piles used as an element in manufactured rubber articles such as tires, conveyor belts and the like as well as other articles of manufacture, can be prepared according to the method of this invention.
