A non-crosslinked rubber laminate which is a rubber laminate includes a butyl rubber-containing layer stacked with an ethylene propylene diene rubber and/or ethylene propylene rubber-containing layer, wherein such non-crosslinked rubber laminate is characterized in that the ethylene propylene diene rubber and/or ethylene propylene rubber-containing layer is a rubber-containing layer that contains a low-molecular-weight polyolefin, a phenolic resin, and a crosslinking agent, where: the low-molecular-weight polyolefin is contained by 40 to 70 parts by weight, the phenolic resin is contained by 1 to 4 parts by weight, and the crosslinking agent is contained by at least 1 part by weight, relative to the ethylene propylene diene rubber and/or ethylene propylene rubber constituting a total of 100 parts by weight. An air conditioning hose made of the rubber laminate, for example, can accommodate POE-based lubricating oils and retain vibration absorption characteristics.

A resin-coated steel sheet having good electrocoatability and weldability, characterized in that the resin coating is formed on the layer of zinc plating or zinc alloy plating (with or without subsequent chromate treatment) and is composed mainly of urethane resin containing (a) either colloidal silica or a silane coupling agent and (b) a phosphate of Al, Ba, Ca, Co, Fe, Mg, Mn or Zn in an amount of 0.01-35 wt % (with or without an additional organic pigment fine powder in an amount of 0.01-40 wt %).

Resin-coated steel sheet having good electrocoatability and weldability

Described herein is a method for producing a resin-coated rust-proof steel sheet with properties suitable for electrodeposition coating, the method including the step of, prior to chromate treatment and resin coating, immersing a zinc- or zinc alloy- electroplated steel sheet in an acid bath containing at least one member selected from the group consisting of sulfuric acid, chloric acid, phosphoric acid, boric acid and nitric acid and salts thereof and having a pH value smaller than 6, inclusive, to remove a surface layer of the electroplating on said steel sheet, thereby activating the plated surface in such a manner as to improve the quality of the following chromate treatment. Advantageously, the method further includes the step of grinding the electroplated surface with a brush or roll containing fine abrasive grains of #200 or a higher number to remove said surface layer simultaneously with or separately from the immersion in the acid bath.

An efficient method of descaling metal sheets, such as titanium and stainless steel sheets, which includes carrying out anodic electrolysis using a metal sheet as the anode while sliding an abrasive member relatively to and on the surface of the metal sheet, is disclosed. The abrasive member essentially constitutes a fabric-like material made of synthetic resin.

Method of descaling metal sheets

A thin corrosion protective film of an iron oxide can be formed on the inner surface of a condenser tube made of a copper alloy by first applying on the inner surface a thin layer of an acidic suspension containing iron powder and then exposing the thus-coated inner surface to an atmosphere of an oxidizing gas. The above method can be carried out in a relatively short period of time and also in a relatively simple fashion. The resultant protective film is uniform and hardly reduces the thermal conductivity of the condenser tube, thus ideal as a protective film for condenser tubes of a heat exchanger.
