Description
ADHESIVE COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR ADHERING TEXTILES TO EPDM RUBBER
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the bonding of textile reinforcements to high temperature resistant rubber and, more particularly, this invention relates to an improved adhesive composition for adhering such textile reinforcements to EPDM (Ethylene-Propylene- Diene rubber) for use in reinforced rubber based products such as high temperature resistant power transmission belts.
Background Art
With the increased demand for higher temperature power transmission belts, there is a need for an improved adhesive to bond textile reinforcements to rubber compositions used in the manufacture of high temperature resistant articles. In bonding rubber to a reinforcing material in products such as power transmission belts and other reinforced high temperature resistant rubber products, the common practice is to treat the material with a RFL latex dip to enhance the bonding of the rubber to the material.
U.S. Patent No. 3,325,333 to Kigane et al. teaches a method of adhering a polyester cord to a CSM rubber compound by treating the cord with an aqueous adhesive composition containing methylolated blocked organic polyisocyanate and a vulcanizable organic polymer at conventional or normal polyester treating temperatures.
U.S. Patent No. 3,060,078 to Atwell teaches a method of bonding polyester cord fibers to a CSM rubber compound by treating the cord with a resorcinol-formaldehyde neoprene latex adhesive composition
Typically, the RFL dip is prepared by mixing an RFL prepolymer with a latex. The RFL prepolymer provides adhesion to the reinforcing material and the latex provides adhesion to the rubber. Where
the surface reactivity of the reinforcing material is low, as is the case with polyester and aramid cords, the cord is usually pre-treated with a composition which improves its reactivity. Compositions that have been used for this purpose include epoxy resins and isocyanates. Conventionally, belts are prepared by bonding a double-twisted cord to the rubber. The cord is immersed in a RFL dip and transported through a vertical oven where it is heated under tension for a predetermined period of time. This causes the cord to elongate and restructure the polyester. This process is known as "stress-elongation" or "heat set". The process dries the adhesives which are coated on the cord. The common RFL dip systems have also been developed for general purpose rubber compounds like natural rubber and styrene-butadiene-rubber. For these rubbers, the latex used in the RFL dip is often a terpolymer based on styrene, butadiene and vinylpyridine. For less reactive rubber compounds, like EPDM, the common RFL dip systems are not suitable.
Prior art methods of adhering polyester cord (for example, to rubbers such as chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM) have included the use of neoprene latex and vinyl pyridene latex in the RFL latex dip.
Another conventional treatment for polyester cord is taught in U.S. Pat. Nos. 54,654,099 and 5,807,634, wherein the polyester cord receives an initial polyphenylisocyanate treatment at 8 to 15 pounds of tension which is beat activated at a temperature in the range of 300° F to 425° F for 120 seconds to react the functional groups of the polyphenylisocyanate with the open bond sites in the cord. A RFL adhesive is coated over the reacted polyphenylisocyanate and dried, preferably in an oven, for 120 seconds at a temperature in the range of 180° F to 275° F to evaporate the water from the RFL and to keep the RFL from blistering prior to the heat setting of the cord. The heat setting of the polyester cord at 460° F for 60 seconds takes place after the adhesives are applied and therefore, the adhesives are subjected to this elevated temperature. Adhesion between RFL treated textiles and EPDM
rubbers can be achieved if the EPDM rubber is compounded in such a way as to allow for proper reaction chemistry (crosslinking) to occur at the interface of the rubber and adhesive. Generally, these modifications to the EPDM rubber reduce the desired physical properties and dynamic flex life of the rubber compound. Accordingly, there is a need for an improved adhesive that is able to adhere textiles to an EPDM rubber that is compounded for extended belt life and temperature resistance.
Disclosure of the Invention

For example, exemplary textiles include polyamide fiber; meta-and para- aramide fiber; polyester fiber such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), and the like; PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) fiber, cotton, fiber, carbon fiber, glass fiber, PBO (poly p-phenylene-2,6- bezobisoxazole) fiber, acrylic fiber; rayon fiber; LCP (liquid crystal polymer) fiber; and the like. Preferably, the reinforcing element is a polyester.
It is desirable that the adhesive-containing reinforcing textile be incorporated into the EPDM rubber compounds as individual cords and then cured in a conventional manner to produce rubber articles such as power transmission belts, more specifically Polyrib belts, synchronous belts, variable speed belts, flat belts, raw edge v-belts, and wrapped V- belts. The reinforcement element may also be in the form of an adhesive-containing fiber sheet between two or more layers of the EPDM rubber. In another aspect of the invention, the adhesive-containing fiber is chopped into short strands and dispersed throughout the rubber article. Any one or a combination of the above may be used to reinforce the rubber article.
As a result of low surface reactivity of the polyester, it may be desirable to pretreat the textile reinforcing element with a pre-dip composition in order to enhance the surface reactivity of the polyester cord. Such pretreatment is discussed in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,654,009 and 5,807,634, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference to the extent of the pretreatment. For a more complete understanding of the invention, the following examples are presented to show specific uses of the techniques
taught.
Example 1 A mixture of 70 grams hydrogenated styrene-butadiene rubber latex (32% solids)( ), 10 grams carbon black dispersion (37.5% solids)(2), and 20 grams ammonia-neutralized aqueous solution of isobutyl half-ester of maleinized liquid polybutadiene (21.6% solids)(3), was diluted to a final solid content of 23% and coated onto an isocyanate pretreated polyester cord by dip application at 4% dip pick up. The treated cord was dried in a 107.2 °C (225° F) oven for 2 minutes and then heat set under 10 lbs. of tension 204.4°C (400°F) for 1 minute. After heat setting, samples were prepared according to ASTM D1871 , Method B, except that the cord was wound in closely spaced fashion against a first ply of EPDM rubber across the width of a mandrel. Samples of cord sandwich were then cut from the mandrel and tested according to Method B. Results were recorded as peak peel strength (measured in pounds per inch of width) and percent rubber retention at the rubber/treated cord interface. Results are shown in Table 1.
Table 1
Example 2 Example 1 was repeated using 60 grams of the hydrogenated styrene-butadiene rubber, 10 grams of the carbon black d'spersion, and 30 grams of the ammonia-neutralized aqueous solution of
isobutyl half-ester of maleinized liquid polybutadiene. The results are shown in Table 2.
Table 2
Example 3 Example 1 was repeated using 70 grams of hydrogenated nitrile-butadiene rubber latex (45% solids)(4), 10 grams carbon black dispersion (37.5% solids), and 20 grams ammonia-neutralized aqueous solution of isobutyl half-ester of maleinized liquid polybutadiene (21.6% solids). The results are shown in Table 3.
Table 3
Example 4 Example 1 was repeated using 70 grams carboxylated hydrogenated nitrile-butadiene rubber latex (40% solids)(5), 10 grams carbon black dispersion (37.5% solids), and 20 grams ammonia-
neutralized aqueous solution of isobutyl half-ester of maleinized liquid polybutadiene (26.6% solids). The results are shown in Table 4.
Table 4
Example 5 Example 1 was repeated using 70 grams chlorosulfonated polyethylene (40% solids)(8), 10 grams carbon black dispersion (37.5% solids), and 20 grams ammonia-neutralized aqueous solution of isobutyl half-ester of maleinized liquid polybutadiene (21.6% solids). The results are shown in Table 5.
