  • Patent number: 9096740
    Abstract: The invention relates to an elastomeric composition comprising a branched polymer obtained from a polymer selected from the group consisting of NBR, HNBR, XHNBR, EP(D)M, and maleized EPDM and from a compound adapted to form a bond at a bond of the polymer to form a side chain. This compound comprises a group Y comprising a perfluoroalkyl functional group and a functional group adapted to react with the double bond. Preferably, Y=F(CF2CF2)m/wherein m is in the range between 2 and 20; R is selected from the group consisting of a double bond C?C, a triple bond C?C, a functional alcoholic, carboxylic, esteric, acrylic, methacrylic group. The invention also relates to the use of a composition as a body compound for a drive belt and to the use thereof in an oil bath.

  • Patent number: 8859081
    Abstract: There is described a toothed belt comprising an elastomeric material body, in which a plurality of longitudinal filiform resistant inserts is embedded, and a toothing coated by a coating fabric. A resistant layer that increases the resistance to abrasion and thus the resistance to wear of the toothed belt is adhered over the coating fabric. The resistant layer comprises a vulcanization agent and more than 75% of an elastomer formed by at least one copolymer modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid salt and obtained from a dien monomer and a nitrile group-containing monomer. The resistant layer is advantageously separated from the fabric and is calendered on the fabric itself.
