GERMANY: Continental and Kordsa are to offer a jointly developed technology for bonding textile reinforcements with rubber compounds free to other parties, they announced 5 March. The "sustainable" technology is said to enable bonding-activation of fibre-based reinforcing materials without conventionally used resorci-nol-formaldehyde substances. The development covers applications in the tire industry, as well as in the production of mechanical rubber goods like hoses and conveyor belts. The adhesive-dip technology can be applied without changing process equipment, according to the two developers.
