Abstract
The use of a minor amount by weight of a polycarbodiimide in an active Br or Cl containing polymer serves to lessen the adverse effects caused by formation of Br or Cl decomposition products on aging. In particular, the use of polycarbodiimides in bromo butyl or chloro butyl rubber tire inner liners, especially those also accelerated by polyimino compounds during curing, adjacent hydrocarbon rubber layers (carcass or ply stocks) reinforced with polyester cords serves to reduce the degradations or heat aging of the polyester cord caused by Br and/or Cl and/or amine compounds or fragments which may tend to migrate from the inner liner through the ply stock to the polyester cords.
