Abstract
A coextrusion process for coextruding a thermoplastic elastomer with two outer layers of adhesive to form a film, and a laminate comprising a plurality of layers including an adhesive layer, a sublayer and a barrier layer. The barrier layer comprises a dynamically vulcanized thermoplastic elastomer composition present in one or more plies of the barrier layer. The sublayer comprises a first ply of a first adhesive composition joining the barrier layer and a second ply, and the adhesive layer comprises the second ply, which is vulcanizable with diene-based rubber. The sublayer of the adhesive can be laid down in contact with the relatively hot thermoplastic elastomer to moderate the temperature of the outer layer of the adhesive, whereby the outer layer of the adhesive at least is protected from scorching and can be co-vulcanized with rubber in a tire building process.
