Bonding Conundrum

Sep 11, 2003 4 Replies

I am attempting to "chemically" bond a Carboxylated Nitrile latex to a Film of Vulcanised Nitrile with limited success. I am assuming that the surface functionalities are now somewhat limited on the vulcanised film and hence the true bond capability is restricted. I can achieve "a reasonable level of sticktion" but the coating can be peeled and etched away relatively easily. Can anyone please suggest an appropriate chemistry in which a Vulcanised Nitrile can be successfully bonded to by "preferably" - an aqueous born polymer? Thankyou.


Sounds like a used condom. I get mine behind the liquor store dumpster Sunday mornings.

You're welcome.

He's talking about VULCAN BONDING, numb-nuts! Can't you READ?

That's like on Star Trek when Spock goes into a sex frenzy once every

18 years.

I have to admit though I am not 100% following this, something about wrapping the Vulcan up in plastic, I think. I'm not all up on this kinky s*it.

You might want ot try wiping the vulcanized sheet with a solvent to help tackify the surface.
