Abstract
Abstract A rubber laminate comprising at least one sheet of a fluorine-containing rubber and at least one sheet of a nitrile/butadiene rubber wherein either one of the rubber sheets is incorporated by mixing with an epoxy resin and the other of the rubber sheets is incorporated by mixing with a curing agent for the resin which is produced by assembling the sheets under pressure in the presence of a curing temperature. The resulting rubber laminate has an excellent impermeability to liquids and is useful for preparing various devices or vessels for transferring or treating organic solvents and oils, e.g. a hose for gasoline.
