Abstract
Abstract Adhesion of metals to vulcanizable elastomers is promoted by a process of incorporating into the elastomer a metal deactivator and then vulcanizing the elastomeric composition while it is in contact with the metal surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A method of improving adhesion between a vulcanizable elastomeric composition and a metal surface to provide a strong and durable bond, which method comprises (a) adding to a vulcanizable elastomeric composition a methylene acceptor and a methylene donor reactable therewith, and from 0.05 percent to 10 percent by weight based on the weight of the elastomer of a metal deactivating compound of the formula ##STR273## wherein R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , and R 9 are each independently hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, or a phenyl group, and (b) vulcanizing the composition while it is in contact with the metal surface.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
116 words
A method of improving adhesion between a vulcanizable elastomeric composition and a metal surface to provide a strong and durable bond, which method comprises (a) adding to a vulcanizable elastomeric composition a methylene acceptor and a methylene donor reactable therewith, and from 0.05 percent to 10 percent by weight based on the weight of the elastomer of a metal deactivating compound of the formula ##STR273## wherein R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , and R 9 are each independently hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, or a phenyl group, and (b) vulcanizing the composition while it is in contact with the metal surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the vulcanizable elastomer is selected from polybutadiene, polyisoprene, or a blend of natural rubber with (a) styrene-butadiene copolymer, (b) polybutadiene, (c) polyisoprene, or (d) unsaturated ethylene-propylene interpolymer, or a ternary blend of any of the above polymers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A method of claim 1 wherein the methylene acceptor and methylene donor consists essentially of hexamethylenetetramine and resorcinol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
A method of claim 3 wherein the vulcanizable elastomer is selected from polybutadiene, polyisoprene, or a blend of natural rubber with (a) styrene-butadiene copolymer, (b) polybutadiene, (c) polyisoprene, or (d) unsaturated ethylene-propylene interpolymer, or a ternary blend of any of the above polymers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method of claim 1 wherein the methylene acceptor and methylene donor consists essentially of a melamine and resorcinol.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method of claim 5 wherein said melamine is selected from dimethylolmelamine, tri-methylolmelamine, partially etherified trimethylolmelamine, fully etherified hexamethylolmelamine, and fully etherified tetra-methylolenzoquanamine.
