Title: Adhesion of olefin copolymer rubber to nylon textile

Abstract: Halogenated olefin copolymer rubber, particularly halogenated EPDM (prepared by heating the rubber in admixture with an N-haloamide [e.g., 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethyl hydantoin or N,N'-dichloro-p-toluene sulfonamide]) is blended with curatives (sulfur, accelerator) and a resorcinol-aldehyde condensation product in which the aldehyde has 2-4 carbon atoms (e.g., acetaldehyde) to make a vulcanizable adhesive for nylon textile. Nylon fabric coated with the composition is useful for making air bags (passive restraints for automotive vehicles). The adhesive is also useful for making nylon-reinforced tires, hose, etc.
