Abstract

A B S T R A C T

A method of bonding an aromatic polyamide filamentary material to a rubber composition comprising applying an aqueous solution or dispersion of an epoxy resin to the filamentary material, drying the coated filamentary material and assembling the coated filamentary material with a rubber composition con-taining resin precursors and vulcanising said composition in contact with the coated filamentary material.

Description

~ his invention relates to a method of bonding an aromatic polyamide filamentary material to a rubber composition and is an improvemen~ in or modification of the method described in U.K. Patent Specification No. 1 465 063. Silica may be included in the rubber composition.

. .
: According to the presen~ invention a method of bonding an aromatic polyamide filamentary material to a rubber composition comprises applying an aqueous solution or disp~rsion of an epoxy : resin to the filamentary material, drying the coated filamentary , ., material and assembling the coated filamentary material with a ` rubber composition containing aldehyde resin precursors, that is .~ at leas~ two components which will react to form a thermosetting aldehyde condensation resin and subjecting the assembly to conditions which will vulcanise the rubber composition and cause the aldehyde . resin precursors to react.
The aromatic polyamide filamentary material may be of the formula ,, l - 11 '1l -Arl-C-~N- n or . - N-C-Arl-L I A 2 ¦ n . wherein Arl and Ar2 are aromatic radicals and n is an integer, for example poly-lj 4-ben7amide ;~, ' O ~

Epoxy resins that may be used are those resins that may be formed into an aq~ous solution or dispersion.
. ............ .
Typical epoxy compounds include those based on the reaction product of 2,2-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)~propane (Bisphenol A) with epichlorohydrin, the reaction product of an aliphatic diol or triol with epichlorohydrin; epoxidised polybutadiene and triglycidyl isocyanurate.
A typical example of a water soluble epoxy resin is : /IJ~R olo ~ e~e~ which is commercially available from NOGASI and is based on the diglycidyl ether of glycerol.
The aqueous solution or dispersion of an epoxy resin may also contain swelling agents for the resin e.g.
2-pyrrolidone, wetting agents e.g. dioctyl sodium sulpho~uccinate (e.g. the compound whlch i9 cammercially Crrc,d~ ~rh) available as "Aerosol OT"I~rom American Cynamid) or any other compound that will assist in the ~ormation of the solution or dispersion, or the coating o~ the ~ilamentary material with `
the solution or dispersion.
The rubber composition containing resin precursors is pre~erably vulcanised using sulphur as the vulcanising agent. The rubber employed in the composition may be ~ natural rubber~ styrene-butadiene rubber, cis-1,4-poly-.

~'7~ 3 isoprene rubber, polybutadiene rubber or a blend o~ any of these rubbers.
Particularly suitable aldehyde resin precursors com-pounds are an aromatic hydroxy compound and a compound which on heating becomes a methylene donor. Alternatively, one of the resin precursors may itself be a resin capable o further reaction eg. ~ novolac phenol-formaldehyde resin deficient in methyle groups in combination wi~h a compound which on heating becomes a methylene donor. The compound which becomes a methylene donor is pre~erably stable up to a temperature of at least 100C. These compounds in-clude those which generate formaldehyde on heating or may be com-`- pounds such as hexamethylenetetramine. Other suitable compounds include hexamethoxymethyl melamine, lauryl-oxymethyl pyridinium chloride, cetyloxy~ethyl pyridinium chloride, ethyloxymethyl pyridin- ;
ium chloride, formaldehyde, polymers of ~ormaldehyde and polymers of formaldehyde having stabilising groups or residues of substances such as pentaerythritol at the ends of the molecules.
The amou~t of compound employed which liberates methylene groups may be from 0~1 to 10 parts by weight, preferably from 0.5 , 20 to 3 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of rubber in the com-~, position.
The aromatic hydroxy compound which may be employed may be a monohydroxy compound, but it is pre~erably one containing two hydroxy groups and it is especially preferred that the hydroxy groups be meta to each other. Examples of suitable aromatic hydroxy compounds are resorcinol and .r.
`
.~

lr3-dihydroxy naphthalene. If desired, melamine or urea or a compound which generates either o theqe two compounds on heating may be employed in place of the aromatic hydroxy compound.
The amount of aromatic hydro~y compound or other compound employed to react with the compound which liberateq methylene groups may be from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight, preferably from 1.0 to 4.0 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of rubber in the composition.
The aqueous solution or dlspersion of an epoxy resin may be applied to the filamentary material by passing the ., .
material into the aqueous solution or dispersion at room temperature, but i~ desired higher temperatures may be used.
. . .
- After the application of the epoxy resin coating the 5 material is dried. The drying process may comprise drying .~! at room temperature ollowed by drying at a higher temperature. The rubber composltion containing resin precursors is then applied to khe coated filamentary ~material and the assembly is then suitably subjected to heat and~pressure to vulcanise the composition and form the resin precursors into a resin, thereby producing a bond . . , between the coated filamentary material and the rubber composition.
; The method of the present invention may be used to ; ?5 bond aromatic polyamide filamentary materials in the orm of reinforcing cords to rubber~ compositions, in the manufacture o~ e.g. tyres, driving belts, conveyor belts and hose.~
