AI Technical Summary
Conventional laminated hoses for vehicles face challenges in achieving uniform interlayer adhesion and high sealing properties due to uneven adhesive coating and impregnation, which can lead to inadequate sealing and environmental concerns from volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
A rubber composition for the rubber layer of laminated hoses, comprising ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer, a tackifier with a structural unit derived from an aromatic monomer, a bismaleimide compound, and a vulcanizing agent, which enhances interlayer adhesion and sealing properties without using adhesives.
The proposed rubber composition achieves excellent interlayer adhesion and sealing properties, reduces VOC emissions, and simplifies the manufacturing process, thereby enhancing the environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness of laminated hoses.
