| 20100233422 | Method, Coating Latex and Reinforcing Cord for Forming a Rubber Article by Extrusion or Moulding - A method for forming rubber articles, containing reinforcing strands, by extrusion or moulding, involves coating the reinforcing strands with a coating latex and drying the latex such that it remains uncured until the article containing the coated reinforcing strands is moulded or extruded. Improved adhesion between rubber matrix and reinforcing strands is obtained, particularly for filled rubber and EPDM rubber. Preferred coating latices and coated reinforcing cords for use with the method are also disclosed, the coating comprising a metal oxide, a maleimide crosslinking agent, a nitroso-compound, and halogenated rubber. | 09-16-2010 |
