Abstract:
1. A method for treating a fabric for use in a reinforced elastomeric article, wherein the fabric is comprised of fibers, said method comprising the steps of: (1) applying an elastomeric material to a fabric, wherein there are interstices between the fibers in the fabric, wherein the elastomeric material impregnates the interstices between the fibers in the fabric, wherein the elastomeric material is comprised of 20 to 80 parts per hundred cross-linkable material (phcm) of a liquid elastomer and a cross-linkable functionalized polyethylene, wherein the liquid elastomer is a liquid at room temperature, wherein the cross-linkable functionalized polyethylene is an oxidized polyethylene, and wherein prior to cure, the elastomeric material has a complex dynamic viscosity of less than 5 McP (5,000 N*s/m (2) heating the elastomer coated fabric to a temperature within the range of 200° F. to 310° F. for at least two minutes, wherein the elastomeric material fully penetrates the fabric.
