Embodiment 1

[0035] The equipment used for the synthesis consisted of a 2-L capacity round-bottom glass reactor equipped with a stirrer, a heating device and a water-cooled condenser, and purged with nitrogen.

[0036] join in:

[0037] - 350g neodecanoic acid; and,

[0038] - 590 g dimerized fatty acid.

[0039] The mixture was stirred under nitrogen and the temperature was raised to 120°C. 190 g of cobalt hydroxide were added in small portions over a period of 6 h, during which time the reaction temperature was slowly increased to 160°C to 170°C to keep the viscosity within the range where the stirrer could function properly. The reaction mixture was maintained at 180 °C for 2 h to complete the reaction.

[0040] The product obtained was a homogeneous dark blue melt. It is poured and cooled to a brittle solid, which is then ground or granulated.

[0041] The melting point by the Ball & Ring method was 120°C. The product contained 11.2% cobalt (by weight). The average molecular wei...

Embodiment 2

[0043] Add in the device similar to embodiment 1:

[0044] - 576g tall oil fatty acid; and,

[0045] - 98 g maleic anhydride.

[0046] The mixture was stirred while warming to 90°C. Then add:

[0047] - 40g water.

[0048] The reaction mixture was heated to about 100°C for 30 minutes. Then, in small portions, add:

[0049] - 190 g cobalt hydroxide.

[0050] After the first addition of 50 g of cobalt hydroxide, the temperature was slowly raised to 120° C. to distill off excess and reaction water. Addition was then continued for 6 h, increasing the temperature as needed to maintain stirring, reaching about 250°C when the last addition was made. This temperature was maintained for an additional 2 h.

[0051] The product obtained was a dark blue melt which was poured and cooled to a dark blue brittle solid product. It can be ground into powder or granulated.

[0052] Its melting point is 220°C and its cobalt concentration is 14.6%. The average molecular weight is 2800. ...

Embodiment 3

[0054] Add in the device similar to embodiment 1:

[0055] - 365g neodecanoic acid;

[0056] - 490 g dimerized fatty acid; and,

[0057] - 15.25 g glacial acetic acid.

[0058] The ingredients were mixed and the temperature was raised to 80°C. Then, in small portions:

[0059] - 180g cobalt hydroxide.

[0060] During the cobalt hydroxide addition, the temperature was raised as required for the proper operation of the stirrer. Finally, the temperature reached 165°C. The reaction mixture was kept at this temperature for 1 h.

[0061] After that, slowly join:

[0062] - 39.40 g tributyl orthoborate.

[0063] The temperature was slowly raised to 230°C and held for 1 h.

[0064] The resulting product was a dark blue melt which was decanted and cooled to a dark blue brittle solid product. It can be ground into powder or granulated.

[0065] Its melting point is 150°C, and the cobalt concentration is 11.4%. The average molecular weight was 4900.

Abstract

The invention relates to polymeric cobalt bearing compounds, in particular for use as metal-rubber adhesion promoters (RAPs) in tires, belts and hoses. Known active substances are a.o. cobalt stearates, naphthenates, resinates, decanoates, boro-decanoates and many other forms of acylates. While these substances appear to enhance the metal-rubber adhesion, all of them also come with significant drawbacks, a.o. linked to the relatively high bioavailability of cobalt in these substances. The invention concerns more particularly a polymer comprising Co-carboxylate sequences, with a Co content of at least 3% by weight, and with a mean molecular weight of more than 2000. Several synthesis methods, allowing to reach relatively high Co concentrations in the polymer, illustrate the invention. The invented polymers show a strongly reduced bioavailability of Co compared to currently available products, as demonstrated by aqueous leaching tests. As RAPs, they perform similarly to commercial products, as shown by pullout tests.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to cobalt-containing polymers, particularly as metal-rubber adhesion promoters (RAPs) for use in such products as tires, belts and tubes. Background technique [0002] Many formulations for such applications have been tested. According to current practice, cobalt-containing substances are usually used. Cobalt does have an essential function to achieve the desired adhesion. Known active substances are, for example, cobalt stearates, naphthenates, resinates, caprates, boro-decanoates and many other forms of acrylates. Examples can be found in GB 1338930, EP 0065476, US 4340515 and GB 972804. [0003] While these substances appear to improve metal-rubber adhesion, they all have serious drawbacks. For example, most of these RAPs exhibit relatively high cobalt bioavailability, according to water leaching tests. This is related to the well-known toxicity of cobalt. Other RAPs, such as those based on natural products, only ...
