Patent ID: 8871125

Claim:
A process to produce a laminate comprising: coextruding a dynamically vulcanized alloy with an adhesive composition through a die to produce a laminate comprising a film of the dynamically vulcanized alloy and a layer of the adhesive composition; wherein the dynamically vulcanized alloy comprises a thermoplastic elastomer composition containing a thermoplastic resin as a continuous phase, and a rubber composition dispersed therein, as a dispersed phase and is extruded at a melt temperature in the range of 190° C. to 250° C.; wherein the adhesive composition comprises a vulcanizable elastomeric composition and is extruded at a temperature in the range of 110° C. to 180° C.; providing a residence time of the adhesive composition in a molten state to partially scorch the vulcanizable elastomeric composition; and providing a co-residence time in the die of the melt of the dynamically vulcanized alloy in contact with a surface of the melt of the adhesive composition of at least 5 seconds.
