A method is disclosed for adhering rubber and reinforcing materials simultaneously with vulcanization, without defects such as fume and bloom phenomena of formaldehyde-acceptors, deliquescence and blocking, which is characterized in the use of a vulcanizable rubber composition containing an improved co-polycondensate resin which is prepared by condensing (A) a resol type pre-polycondensate prepared by at least one phenol and formaldehyde or acetaldehyde in the presence of an alkaline catalyst, and (B) resorcinol, m-aminophenol or the like, while distilling off water present in the reaction system, and then solidifying the reaction mixture.

Adhesion of rubber to reinforcing materials

Rubbers are prevented from ozone deterioration without discoloring or staining by the addition of a nitrile of the formula, ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each hydrogen, C.sub.1 - C.sub.24 aliphatic, C.sub.5 - C.sub.7 alicyclic or aryl, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may form together with the adjacent nitrogen atom a heterocyclic group which may further contain oxygen, and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are each hydrogen or lower alkyl.
