Abstract: A textile fabric composite comprised of a cord or fabric and an adhesive coating thereon formed by the application of an aqueous emulsion composition, said composition is comprised of the emulsion polymerization product of a monomer mixture of butadiene and either (a) glycidyl methacrylate and monomeric amide or (b) styrene, 2-vinyl pyridine and monomeric amide. The invention further relates to a composite, such as a pneumatic rubber tire reinforced with such fabric composite. The invention additionally relates to said emulsion composition used for the coating of the said fabric composite.

Abstract: A condensation product of naphthalenesulfonic acid and linear alkylbenzenesulfonic acid having an alkyl moiety of from about 4 to about 20 carbon atoms with formaldehyde or salt thereof is useful as a secondary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in synthetic polymer latex processes. From about 0.05 to about 5 parts by weight of the condensation product per 100 parts by weight of latex monomer is used as a secondary emulsifier and from about 0.5 to about 5 parts by weight of the condensation product per 100 parts by-weight of latex monomer is used as a co-emulsifier. Additionally, products can be prepared which have been found to be biodegradable. Use of these condensation products eliminates pollution caused by a secondary emulsifier or co-emulsifier in polymer manufacture effluent.
