Abstract: An adhesion promoter comprises a polymeric strand with an epoxy-reactive group other than a phenolic hydroxyl group, and a crosslinking group that crosslinks the polymeric strand with a rubber in a crosslinking reaction, wherein the polymeric strand is water soluble in an amount of at least 10 g/l, and more preferably at least 100 g/l. Particularly contemplated adhesion promoters may further comprise styrene-butadiene-vinylpyridine copolymer, and may advantageously be employed as a replacement for resorcinol-formaldehyde latex in the fabrication of a rubber containing tire. Especially contemplated rubber compositions may additionally comprise maleinized polybutadiene to synergistically improve adhesion of the rubber to a polymeric fiber coupled via contemplated adhesion promoters.

Abstract: Poly(vinyl chloride) plastisol compositions modified with epoxy and acid anhydrides can be painted wet-on-wet with acid catalyzed, high solids enamel paints, followed by curing at 120.degree. C. or lower, to give strongly adherent products on electrodeposition coatings and dry, tack-free painted surface. The compositions are also stabilized by the addition of an imide, which provides storage stability at 40.degree. C. for more than three days.

Abstract: A one component, solventless, storage stable, low temperature, curable urethane composition comprising(1) a branched, blocked isocyanate prepolymer comprising the reaction product of a polyol having a functionality of at least 2, an aromatic polyisocyanate having a functionality of at least 2, the combined functionality of the polyol and the polyisocyanate being greater than 4 and a ketoxime blocker;(2) a polyol crosslinking agent containing at least two OH groups;(3) a deblocking and curing catalyst for (1); and(4) a dessicant.The composition on heating to 100.degree.-120.degree. C. results in a cured polyurethane within 10-30 minutes. The composition can also be combined with polymeric powder, e.g., polymethylmethacrylate to yield cured reactive plastisols. The aforesaid compositions are useful as sealants, coatings or adhesives.
