An adhesive composition containing a chlorinated ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer and at least one of a phenolic resin and an aromatic nitroso compound as an adhesion-promoting additive. The chlorinated ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer can be prepared without the utilization of environmentally hazardous chlorinated solvents and provides for adhesive compositions which exhibit excellent adhesion and resistance to adverse environmental conditions.

Adhesive compositions based on chlorinated ethylene/vinyl acetate

Compositions comprising at least one halogen-containing polymer, at least one aromatic nitroso compound, at least one salt of certain inorganic and organic acids, and, optionally, at least one maleimide compound, have been found to be unexpectedly effective as storage-stable, single-package, one-coat adhesive systems for bonding a variety of elastomeric materials, including vulcanizable and vulcanized natural and synthetic elastomer compositions, to themselves and other structural substrates.
