The present invention addresses the problem of providing a rubber coating composition for use in a conveyor belt, the composition excelling in both peel force and rubber sticking and having excellent canvas adhesiveness, and of providing a laminate and a conveyor belt. The rubber coating composition for a conveyor belt of the present invention contains a diene-based rubber component, di-2-benzothiazolyl disulfide, silica, a cresol formaldehyde resin, and a modified etherified methylol melamine. The content amounts of each of the di-2-benzothiazolyl disulfide, silica, cresol formaldehyde resin, and modified etherified methylol melamine are all within predetermined ranges.

Disclosed herein are aqueous latex compositions comprising polysaccharide particles and a polymer dispersion or polymer emulsion. In one embodiment the polysaccharide particles comprise poly alpha-1,3-glucan. Also disclosed are an adhesive, film, coating, or binder comprising the latex composition in a dry form, as well as articles comprising the adhesive, film, coating, or binder.

The present invention relates to a heat sealable and water repellent coating and a substrate comprising said heat sealable and water repellent coating that can be used in the manufacture of drinking cups or food boxes, in particular hot drinking cups or hot food boxes. Said heat sealable and water repellent coating comprises a cyclic imide co-polymer, at least two adhesive binders, of which one of these is a polymer with a Tg lower than 20 C. and a molecular weight above 25000 Da, said polymer being selected from the group comprising natural rubber, polyacrylate, polystyrene butadiene, polybutene, polyisobutene, polyisoprene; preferably natural rubber, and a tackifying agent.

Due to its specific characteristics, the heat sealable and water repellent substrate comprising the coating according to the present invention is biodegradable, recyclable and repulpable.

A method for producing a vehicle tire, having the following steps: a) providing textile reinforcing supports; b) providing a bath which is free of resorcin and formaldehyde by at least: b1) adding at least one carboxylic acid to water; b2) adding at least one base; b3) adding at least one epoxy compound; b4) adding at least one polyisocyanate compound; b5) adding at least one VP latex; and b6) mixing the substances from b1) to b5); c) dipping the reinforcing supports from step a) into the bath from step b); d) subsequently hot-stretching the dipped reinforcing supports from step c); and e) further processing the reinforcing supports from step d) in order to form a reinforcing support layer in a vehicle tire blank. A vehicle tire which is produced using the method and to the use of reinforcing supports treated in such a manner in technical rubber articles are also disclosed.
