Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite yarn product, having improved strength and resistance to distortion and fracture in use, in combination with improved texture and appearance. The composite yarn product comprises strands of a composite resin laminate prepared from at least three film layers, with a centrally colored substrate prepared from a synthetic resin film, and paired outer films individually formed and adhesively attached to the substrate by heat and pressure. The film layers are bonded together by an adhesive composition. The adhesive composition comprises a first component and a second component, the first component including a resin material selected from acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers, and butadiene-styrene copolymers. The first component is prepared in an organic solvent system. The second component contains an epoxy resin such as a bisphenol A-derived diepoxide, and a vinylchloride-vinylacetate copolymer, prepared in a like organic solvent system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adhesive for use in the manufacture of a composite yarn product, that results in the preparation of a product having improved strength and resistance to distortion and fracture in use, in combination with improved texture and appearance. The adhesive composition comprises a first component and a second component, the first component including a resin material selected from acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers, and butadiene-styrene copolymers. The first component is prepared in an organic solvent system. The second component contains an epoxy resin such as a bisphenol A-derived diepoxide, and a vinylchloride-vinylacetate copolymer, prepared in a like organic solvent system.The adhesive composition is prepared by the individual mixture of the respective components followed by the addition of the first component to the second component under agitation.
