Abstract
Abstract A method of surface treating elastomer surfaces comprises applying thereto a 4-substituted-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione preferably in solution. The treatment improves adhesion using normal elastomer adhesives, improves resistance to peeling with flexible paints and reduces the surface tack of the elastomer. The method is advantageous over prior art chlorination and halogen donor techniques particularly in that the triazoline diones are relatively non-corrosive and non-toxic.
