Elastomers with improved metal adhesion

摘要

Vulcanizable elastomeric compositions are described which comprise an elastomer and from about 0.001 to about 0.1 lb mole of metal per 100 lbs of elastomer, the metal content comprising a mixture of copper and zinc, said metals being present as (A) AN ORGANIC CARBOXYLIC ACID SALT CONSISTING OF COPPER AND ZINC COMBINED WITH ONE OR MORE CARBOXYLIC ACIDS, (B) A COMBINATION OF TWO OR MORE COPPER AND ZINC SALTS OF ORGANIC CARBOXYLIC ACIDS, OR (C) A COMBINATION OF A METAL SALT OF AN ORGANIC CARBOXYLIC ACID AND A MIXED ORGANIC ACID SALT COMPLEX.
