Abstract: A composition and method for treating an aramid cord include a bisphenol-A-based- and/or a bisphenol-F-based-liquid epoxy resin, a reactive diluent, and a curing agent. The composition and method also may include an elastomer-modified epoxy-functional adduct and/or an elastomer-modified epoxy-resin adduct.

Abstract: There is disclosed a hose comprising first and second layers in direct mutual contact; the first layer comprising a thermoplastic quadpolymer derived from tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, vinylidene fluoride, and a perfluorovinyl ether; the second layer comprising: 100 parts by weight of an acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), said acrylonitrile rubber comprising from about 20 to about 65 percent by weight of bound acrylonitrile; from about 3 to about 20 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the NBR, of at least one acid acceptor; from about 1 to about 10 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the NBR, of at least one organophosphonium salt; and from about 0.25 to about 10 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the NBR, of at least one amidine.
