Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to an improvement of the adhesion of a metallic material such as copper, copper alloys and other metals coated therewith with a vulcanizable rubber composition. It is realized by previously adding orthoboric acid or a metal borate to the rubber composition in order to proceed with metal-rubber bonding reaction and vulcanization reaction in good balance, and vulcanizing an assembly of the metallic material and the boric compound containing rubber composition closely contacted therewith.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A method for improving the adhesion of a rubber composition, containing a sulphur vulcanizer, with copper, brass or other metals coated therewith said method comprising adding at least one compound selected from the group consisting of orthoboric acid, zinc borate, manganese borate, calcium borate, lead borate, cobalt borate and sodium borate to the rubber composition in a ratio of 0.1 to 5 weight parts of said boric acid compound to 100 weight parts of an elastomer in said rubber composition, closely contacting the metal to be coated with the rubber composition containing the boric acid compound and then vulcanizing the resulting rubber composition, whereby said metal adheres to the vulcanized rubber composition.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
112 words
A method for improving the adhesion of a rubber composition, containing a sulphur vulcanizer, with copper, brass or other metals coated therewith said method comprising adding at least one compound selected from the group consisting of orthoboric acid, zinc borate, manganese borate, calcium borate, lead borate, cobalt borate and sodium borate to the rubber composition in a ratio of 0.1 to 5 weight parts of said boric acid compound to 100 weight parts of an elastomer in said rubber composition, closely contacting the metal to be coated with the rubber composition containing the boric acid compound and then vulcanizing the resulting rubber composition, whereby said metal adheres to the vulcanized rubber composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
76 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 comprising storing the rubber composition containing the boric acid compound for an extended period under ambient conditions before vulcanization, said composition being capable of absorbing moisture from the atmosphere during such storage without substantial effect on the subsequent vulcanization and resulting adhesion due to control by the boric acid compound of the reaction of the sulphur with the metal to be coated despite the presence of the absorbed moisture.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
A method as claimed in claim 2 wherein the time of storage of the rubber composition containing the boric acid compound is substantially indepenent of the resulting adhesion of the metal with the vulcanized rubber composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
A method as claimed in claim 3 wherein said time of storage is up to 240 hours.
