being the same or different when x is greater than 1, oxidizing the mercaptosilane, and drying the surface to obtain the desired treated surface.

Description

~62~
This lnvention relates to a method of treating surfaces and, more especially to a method of treating surfaces which are suitable for bonding to polymers.
It is known that oxidic surfaces may be treated with silanes containing mercapto groups in order to improve bonding thereto of a sulphur-crosslinked rubber. Unfortunately, the use of silanes containing mercapto groups has a drawback, which is that -the oxidic surfaces pretreated with the silanes and mixed with the rubber, show undesirable and uncontrollable reactivity characterized by a premature vulcanisation. This premature ~ i vulcanisation occurs is a short time, which complicates control- ;~
led, uniform processing of the rubber compositions.
Attempts have already been made to obviate these disad-vantages by using silanes con-tainlng tetrasulphide groups, of the general formula (Ro)3Si-R'-S4-R'-Si(oR)3 wherein R is an alkyl radical and R' is an alkylene radical. Although this ~ -procedure has resulted in an improvement in the processing properties of the rubber compositions, it has the drawback that the sulphur bridges containing silanes are difficu1t to produce -in the pure form in which they have to be used. - -According to the present invention there is provided a method of treating a surface, which method comprises the steps of applying to the surface an aqueous solution comprising from O.Ol to 60% of a mercaptosilane of the general formula:
k 3-x ;~ ~i in which R represents an alkyl or alkoxyalkyl radical having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, R' represents a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R" represents a divalent '':' .' ~ . ,.

hydrocarbon radical having from 1 -to 10 carbon atoms, _ is . -0 or 1 and x is 0,1, 2 or 3, the radicals represented by Rbeing identical or different when x is grea-ter than l; oxidizing the mercaptosilane; and drying the surface to obtain the desired treated surface.
The radieal represented by R" may be linear or branched and preferably has from 2 to 4 earbon atoms. This radieal option-ally eontaining a hetero-atom.

Suitable solvents for the aqueous solution include water alone and aqueous alcohols. In the ease of alcohols, it is preferred to use those having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
Another water-immiscible or water-emulsifiable organic solvent which has a dissolving effect upon the mercapto silane, may also be used.
When alcohols or other organie solvents are used, it is important that they be mlxed with water so that silanol groups may form in the solution.
~ The eoncentration of the mercapto silane in the aqueous solution is governed by the speeific surface of the material to be treated. It may vary from 0.01% to 60~, the range from 0.1 to 10~ being preferred.
In one embodiment of the invention the mereaptosilane is oxidized with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst, for example iron or copper. In a preferred embodiment the solution eomprises a mereaptosilane and an oxidizing agent eapable of ..' oxidizing the mereaptosilane to a disulphide. , -The eoneentration of the oxidizing agent is seleeted in aeeordanee with the concentration of -the mercapto silane.

The oxidizing agent is preferably present in an excess relative to the stoichiometrically necessary quantity. The stoichiome-trieally neeessary quantity is~the quantity theoretieally requir-ed for oxidizing mereaptans into disulphides. The preferred ~ -range for _ "

1C~62971 the excess of oxidizing agent is compri~ed between 10 and 50%
of the stoichiometrically necessary quantity.
In addit~on to atmospheric oxygen acting in conjunction with a catalyst (for example Fe or Cu), suitable oxidizing agents are hydrogen peroxide or o~idiæing agents of the type described in Houben-Weyl "Methoden der Organishen Chemie", 4th Edition (1955), Vol. 9, pages 59 to 65. When applying the solutions to the sur~aces to be treated, it is possible to work in the acid or alkaline condition, depending upon the oxidizing agent used or the mercapto sila~e used.
~ he surface which may be treated by the method according to the invention may be oxidic or metallic. The~e include both natural mineral oxidic surfaces and also surfaces of synthetically produced products. ~hey also include surfaces of silica and carbonate-containing minerals. Examples of materials which may be subjected to surface pretreatment by the process according to ,~ `~
the invention include quartz, mica, asbestos, aluminium silicates, kaollns, silica~, iron oxide, titanium o~ide, chalk, glass fibres, iron~copper, zinc, aluminium and also alloy~ such as brass and bronze~
.: . . .. . .
When treated by the method according to the invention ;~
the surfaces may be bonded to a polymer. Polymers, whose adhesion ~;
to the above-mentioned surfaces i~ improved by the pretreatment according to the invention, include natural and synthetic rubbers, polymerisation product~, such as PVC, and polycondensation and polyaddition products, such as resol resins, furan resins, epoxide resins or polyurethane resin~.
~ he treatment of the above-mentioned surface~ with the solution according to the invention i9 preferably carried out at a temperature below 30C in order to a~oid undesirable further oxidation of the di~ulphlde bond. It is also advisable to use freshly prepared solutio~s of mercapto silane and oxidizing age~t.
