Abstract:
1. A vulcanizable layered composition comprising at least two layers and at least one tie layer, wherein the first layer of the two layers comprises an fluid permeation prevention layer, the second layer of the two layers comprises at least one high diene rubber, and the tie layer comprises a mixture of: (1) about 60 to about 90 weight % of at least one halogenated isobutylene containing elastomer; (2) about 10 to about 40 weight % of at least one high diene elastomer; (3) about 20 to about 50 weight % of at least one filler; (4) about 0 to about 30 weight % of at least one processing oil; (5) about 1 to about 20 parts per hundred of a tackifier mixture of at least one of rosin or rosin derivatives and a condensate of tert-butyl phenol and acetylene and wherein said at least two tackifiers are present at a weight ratio of one of the other of about 1 to about 10 to about 10 to about 1; and (6) about 0.2 to about 15 parts per hundred of rubber of a curing system for the elastomers; wherein said fluid permeation prevention layer comprises a polymer composition a Young's modulus of 1 to 500 MPa, said polymer composition comprising: (A) at least 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the polymer composition, of at least one thermoplastic engineering resin component having a Young's modulus of more than 500 MPa, where the thermoplastic engineering resin component is selected from the group consisting of polyamide resins, polyester resins, polynitrile resins, polymethacrylate resins, polyvinyl resins, cellulose resins, fluororesins, and imide resins, and (B) at least 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the polymer composition, of at least one elastomer component having a Young's modulus of not more than 500 MPa, where the elastomer component is selected from the group consisting of diene rubbers and the hydrogenates thereof, halogen-containing rubbers, silicone rubbers, sulfur-containing rubbers, fluoro-rubbers, hydrin rubbers, acryl rubbers, ionomers and thermoplastic elastomers, and where the total amount of the component (A) and the component (B) is not less than 30% by weight based on the total weight of the polymer composition, wherein the elastomer component (B) is dispersed in a vulcanized or partially vulcanized state, as a discontinuous phase, in a matrix of the thermoplastic resin component (A) in the polymer composition and wherein the amount and type of said at least one tackifier is effective to provide sufficient uncured adhesive strength to permit the building of said multilayered construction without substantial delamination of said tie layer to an adjoining layer prior to the establishment of crosslinking in an amount to provide suitable adhesion between said layers resulting in an acceptable multilayered construction.
