Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to adhesion promoters for adhering elastomers, including natural and/or synthetic rubbers, to natural or synthetic polymeric cord or fabric substrates, and/or metal cord or metal substrates, particularly cords in the manufacture of cord-reinforced rubber articles, such as tires, hoses, conveyor belts, transmission belts, and the like.
  • the conventional practice has been to prepare the fiber by pretreatment with a combination of hexamethoxymelamine or hexamethylene-tetramine and phenol- formaldehyde condensation product, wherein the phenol is almost always resorcinol.
  • the resin reacts with the fiber and the rubber, effecting a firm reinforcing bond.
  • One method for preparing rubber compositions reinforced with cords entails compounding a vulcanizing rubber stock composition with the components of an adhesive resin condensation product.
  • the components of the condensation product include a methylene acceptor and a methylene donor.
  • the most commonly employed methylene acceptor is a phenol, such as resorcinol, while the most commonly employed methylene donor is a melamine, such as N-(substituted oxymethyl)melamine.
  • the effect achieved is resin formation in-situ during vulcanization of the rubber, creating a bond between the metal or polymeric cords and the rubber, irrespective of whether the cords have been pretreated with an additional adhesive, such as a styrene-butadiene latex, polyepoxides with a blocked isocyanate, and the like.
  • an additional adhesive such as a styrene-butadiene latex, polyepoxides with a blocked isocyanate, and the like.
  • Resorcinol-free vulcanizable rubber compositions are known.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,298,539 discloses vulcanizable rubber compositions containing uncured rubber, a vulcanizing agent and at least one additive selected from the group consisting of derivatives of melamine, acetoguanamine, benzoguanamine, cyclohexylguanamine and glycoluril monomer and oligomers of these monomers. These derivatives are substituted on average at two or more positions on the monomer or each unit of the oligomer with vinyl terminated radicals and the composition is free of resorcinol.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,038,220 describes a vulcanizable rubber composition which comprises a rubber, a filler material, N-(substituted oxymethyl)melamine and at least one of ⁇ - or ⁇ -naphthol.
  • This reference employs the monohydric phenols, ⁇ - or ⁇ -naphthol, as methylene acceptors in the resin forming reaction during vulcanization in the absence of resorcinol.
  • the use of resorcinol-formaldehyde resin to replace resorcinol in vulcanizable rubber compositions is also known. For example, see A. Peterson, et al., "Resorcinol Bonding Systems for Steel Cord Adhesion", Rubber World (March 1984).
  • Tires typically have a construction such that a carcass, edge portions of a belt, an under-belt pad and the like are intricately combined with each other in its shoulder portion.
  • the under-belt pad provided continuously along the circumferential shoulder portion of the tire between a tread rubber portion and the carcass and extending outwardly of the belt edge portions along the width of the tire is a thick rubber layer, which is a structural characteristic for alleviating a shear stress possibly generated between the belt edge portions and the carcass.
  • the under-belt pad is repeatedly subjected to loads during running, heat is liable to build-up in the under-belt pad, thereby causing internal rubber destruction in the under-belt pad and adhesion failures between the rubber components and between a rubber portion and cords (steel cords) in the carcass. This causes separation of the belt edge portions and ply separation in the carcass resulting in breakdown of the tire.
  • One conventional approach to this problem is that the under-belt pad is formed of a rubber compound which contains a reduced amount of carbon black for suppression of heat build-up.
  • the rubber compound for the under-belt pad is softened by the reduction of the carbon black content therein.
  • an improved tread is of dual layer structure, with the inner layer (base tread adjacent to the belt) being made of a rubber composition which is saved from heat generation at the sacrifice of abrasion resistance, and the outer layer (cap tread) being made of a rubber composition of high abrasion resistance.
  • an improved steel cord-embedding rubber is made of a rubber composition containing an adhesive such as a cobalt salt of an organic acid, hydroxybenzoic acid, and resorcinol, which increases adhesion between rubber and steel cord.
  • adhesion promoters have been used in an attempt to avoid belt separation, for example, special latices such as, for example, a vinyl-pyridine latex (VP latex) which is a copolymer of about 70% butadiene, about 15% styrene and about 15% 2-vinylpyridine.
  • VP latex vinyl-pyridine latex
  • latices which are present in adhesion promoters are acrylonitrile rubber latices or styrene-butadiene rubber latices. These can be used as such or in combination with one another.
  • adhesion promoters for polyesters are also those which are applied in multi-stage processes, for instance a blocked isocyanate being applied in combination with polyepoxide and the material then being treated using customary resorcinol-formaldehyde resins (RFL dip). It is also known to use combinations of RFL dips with other adhesion-promoting substances such as, for example, a reaction product of triallyl cyanurate, resorcinol and formaldehyde or p-chlorophenol, resorcinol and formaldehyde.
  • RFL dip customary resorcinol-formaldehyde resins
  • Tires are subject to many minute cuts when they run over gravel or sharp objects.
  • the cuts reaching the inside of the tread permit air and moisture to infiltrate into the tire, promoting the aging and fatigue of the embedding rubber and also rusting the steel cord. All this leads to a decrease in adhesion.
  • adhesion promoter systems of the present invention far surpass any extant adhesion promoters known in the art for adhesion of metal and/or polymeric cord to vulcanizable rubber.
  • long chain esters formed by reacting mono, di-, and/or tri-carboxylic acids containing one, two, or three C 6 -C 24 long chain radicals or fatty acid residues, and alcohols containing a C 3 -C 4 alkyl group, in a natural or synthetic vulcanizable rubber unexpectedly increases the adhesion between the rubber and a metal or polymeric substrate, such as metal or polymeric surfaces, particularly cords used in reinforcing rubber in tires, hoses, conveyor belts, motor mounts, automotive drive train belts, including transmission belts, and the like, when added with an adhesive resin, such as a melamine-containing resin or a phenol-, e.g., resorcinol-containing resin, e.g., a Novolak resin.
  • an adhesive resin such as a melamine-containing resin or a phenol-, e.g., resorcinol-containing resin, e.g., a Novolak resin.
  • suitable substrates include steel, brass-coated steel, brass, polyester, Aramid, textiles, copper, glass, and the like.
  • Application of the adhesive promoters of the invention is particularly contemplated with steel cord, brass-coated steel cord, brass cord, polyester fiber cord, Aramid fiber cord, glass cord, fabric and flat metal surfaces, and the like.
  • the esters provide unexpected, tenacious bonding between polymeric or metal cord and rubber, when combined with an adhesive resin. It is theorized that the long chain esters of the invention strongly adhere both to the rubber and to the resin, with the resin providing sufficient ionic bonding to the reinforcing cords.
  • compositions and articles described herein are to provide a radial tire for heavy load vehicles characterized by good adhesion between steel or polymeric cord and steel cord-embedding rubber, said adhesions lasting for a long time with only a small loss of adhesion while tires are in use.

It has been found that the water-based emulsions should have a hydrophile/lipophile balance (HLB) in the range of about 4 to about 5 for best emulsification.
  • HLB hydrophile/lipophile balance
  • Particular combinations of emulsifying agents found to be especially effective in providing a homogeneous, stable water-based emulsion of the dimerate esters and adhesive resin include a combination of an anionic metal stearate, e.g., potassium stearate for the ester, and a non-ionic sorbitan oleate for the adhesive resin, as shown in the following emulsion preparation guide:
  • Span80 (sorbitan oleate) (2 to 6 %) based on the weight of dimerate ester
