Abstract:
A process for adhering synthetic textile fibers to sulfur vulcanizable rubbers comprising the steps of (I) immersing said fibers in an aqueous solution of 1% to 4% solids oxazoline polymer, 0% to 4% alkylene glycol monoether, and 92% to 99% water, wherein e represents percent by weight, to produce coated fibers; (II) drying said coated fibers to produce subcoated fibers; (III) subjecting the subcoated fibers to an RFL adhesive dip to produce dipped fibers; (IV) drying the dipped fibers to produce dried dipped fibers; (V) placing the dried dipped fibers in contact with a sulfur vulcanizable rubber; and (VI) curing the sulfur vulcanizable rubber while it is in contact with said dried dipped fibers.
