Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A method for forming a strong adhesive bond between a vulcanized natural or synthetic rubber composition and a textile fiber or metal wire embedded therein which comprises embedding a textile fiber or metal reinforcing material in a vulcanizable rubber composition consisting essentially of (A) natural or synthetic rubber, or a mixture thereof; (B) a vulcanizing agent; and (C) from about 1 to 10 parts by weight, per hundred parts by weight of rubber, of (a) glyoxal, (b) a reaction product of glyoxl and from 0.1 to 10 molar proportions of urea or (c) a reaction product of glyoxal, 0.1 to 10 molar proportions of urea and from 0.01 to 2 molar proportions of formaldehyde per molar proportion of glyoxal and vulcanizing said composition.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
123 words
A method for forming a strong adhesive bond between a vulcanized natural or synthetic rubber composition and a textile fiber or metal wire embedded therein which comprises embedding a textile fiber or metal reinforcing material in a vulcanizable rubber composition consisting essentially of (A) natural or synthetic rubber, or a mixture thereof; (B) a vulcanizing agent; and (C) from about 1 to 10 parts by weight, per hundred parts by weight of rubber, of (a) glyoxal, (b) a reaction product of glyoxl and from 0.1 to 10 molar proportions of urea or (c) a reaction product of glyoxal, 0.1 to 10 molar proportions of urea and from 0.01 to 2 molar proportions of formaldehyde per molar proportion of glyoxal and vulcanizing said composition.
