Filed:

Feb 22, 1972

Appl. No.:

5/228143

Inventors:

Thomas S. Solomon - Brecksville OH

Assignee:

The B. F. Goodrich Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

B32B 302
D04D 500
D04D 708

US Classification:

428250

Abstract:

Deterioration of cord dip coating with resultant loss of adhesion of subsequently applied rubber to tire cords is avoided by using a cord dip composition including latex and an acrylic ester copolymer containing acrylic acid and methylol acrylamide.

Appl. No.:

6/420548

Inventors:

Thomas S. Solomon - Brecksville OH

Assignee:

The B. F. Goodrich Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

B05D 302
B05D 118
C09J 312

US Classification:

427381

Abstract:

An adhesive activated (AA) polyester cord, aramid cord, and fabrics made therefrom, may be coated in a one-step dip comprising an aqueous dispersion of a solid finely divided reversibly blocked polyisocyanate (RBP), an adhesive latex of a diene polymer, and a dispersion of an acrylic resin selected from the group consisting of a homopolymer of a monomer, or a copolymer of two or more monomers having the structure ##STR1## wherein, R represents H, methyl, ethyl, Cl or CN, and, X represents hydroxyl (OH), hydroxymethylamino (NHCH. sub. 2 OH), or alkoxy (O-alkyl) having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Automobile tires made from fabric coated with the one-step combination R/F/L, acrylic resin and RBP dip have comparable of better properties, as evidenced by test results of tires tested to destruction, than those of tires made with fabric treated with a two-step bath, the first bath containing the RBP and the second bath containing the R/F/L and acrylic resin. The one-step coating process is ineffective with polyester cord or fabric which is not adhesive activated.

Appl. No.:

6/446897

Inventors:

Thomas S. Solomon - Brecksville OH

Assignee:

The B. F. Goodrich Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

B05D 118
B05D 302

US Classification:

427381

Abstract:

Non-adhesive activated ("non-AA") polyester cord, or aramid cord, and fabrics made therefrom, may be coated in a two-step process, the first step of which is conventional. In the novel second step, after the cord is conventionally pre-coated in the first step, it is dipped in a R/F-free latex of a diene polymer in which an acrylic resin having a mol wt. in the range from about 100,000 to about 1,000,000 is dispersed. The acrylic resin resin is a copolymer selected from the group consisting of two or more monomers, one of which is (meth)acrylic acid and another is a lower alkyl(meth)acrylic acid ester, the monomers having the configuration ##STR1## wherein, R represents H, methyl, ethyl, Cl or CN, and, X represents hydroxyl (OH), hydroxymethylamino (NHCH. sub. 2 OH), or alkoxy (O-alkyl) having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and, optionally, in addition the copolymer may include a vinyl aromatic monomer having from 8 to about 18 carbon atoms.
