A guide to building rubber-to-metal and rubber-to-fabric bond strength with pre-dispersed resorcinol-formaldehyde resin and cobalt/nickel activator masterbatches.
The Adhesion Challenge
Steel cord and fabric reinforcements often peel or show low H-pull values. A resorcinol-formaldehyde resin plus cobalt/nickel activator is the proven route to durable bonding.
How the System Works
RF-70 (resorcinol resin) reacts with the rubber phase during cure; RA-65 (cobalt/nickel activator) promotes the metal-to-rubber interface. Pre-dispersion avoids toxic resorcinol dust.
Dosage & Process
RF 2–4 phr together with RA 1–2 phr, added at the mixing stage. Cure temperature and time directly affect bond strength.
Applications
Tire belts, steel-cord conveyor belts, hose reinforcement and rubber-to-metal mounts.
