Adhesive composition usable in particular as an adhesion primer, based on a polyisocyanate compound and a polyester or vinyl ester resin comprising (in particular hydroxyl) functional groups which are reactive towards isocyanate groups of said polyisocyanate, the total number of said isocyanate groups being in excess relative to the total number of said functional groups of the polyester or vinyl ester resin. The polyisocyanate compound is preferably a diisocyanate, the resin is preferably an epoxy vinyl ester resin, in particular novolac- and/or bisphenol-based. Said composition is usable, as an adhesion primer, in combination with a secondary adhesion layer preferably based on a polyvinylpyridine/stirene/butadiene elastomer and a polyester or vinyl ester resin. Use of such an adhesive system for bonding a cured polyurethane to an uncured diene elastomer composition, in particular in the manufacture of rubber articles consisting of ground contact systems for motor vehicles, in particular pneumatic or non-pneumatic tires.

Adhesive system for the direct bonding of a cured polyurethane to crude rubber

A sulfur-crosslinkable adhesive composition of the non-aqueous type, that is to say not requiring the presence of water, usable for direct bonding of a pregelled polyester or vinyl ester composite to rubber in the uncured state. The composition comprises polyvinylpyridine-styrene-butadiene elastomer ('p-VSBR') in combination with a polyester or vinyl ester resin. Preferably, the resin used is a novolak and/or bisphenol based resin of the epoxy vinyl ester type. This composition, unlike conventional RFL adhesives, does not require any activation treatment, such as intermediate drying, at the time of use. A process for preparing such an adhesive composition, use of said composition for the manufacture of laminated composite parts.
