Abstract: Adhesive-coated tire cord fabric and similar fabric and single end cords for other end uses can be protected from the adverse effects of atmospheric pollutants, prior to the adhesion of such fabrics to rubber, by incorporating N,N'-ethylene bis-stearamide in the adhesive formulation.
Abstract: Polymeric bromine-containing phosphoramidate polyols are obtained by reacting bromine with spirocyclic phosphoramidites and thereafter reacting the brominated products with a polyol, in the presence of an acid acceptor. The novel viscous polymers thus produced react with polyisocyanates to produce polyurethanes. Polyurethanes so made are characterized by improved flame-retardant properties compared with conventional polyurethanes.
