Description

  The present invention relates to a rubber composition for metal bonding containing a novel carboxylic acid group-containing disulfide amino alcohol salt (hereinafter sometimes referred to simply as a disulfide amino alcohol salt).

  For example, in a pneumatic tire, the adhesion performance between a metal belt and rubber is important from the viewpoint that the tire is a composite material. If this adhesion performance is low, failure such as tire separation may occur. It will be. As a countermeasure for this, a method of making the adhesion reaction superior by changing the blending of cobalt (Co) salt or a vulcanization accelerator has been tried (see Non-Patent Document 1), but there is a problem that exothermic properties deteriorate.
