A method of manufacturing a latex rubber article comprises providing a former wherein at least a part of the former comprises a mould surface that forms the shape of the latex rubber article, and applying liquid latex to the mould surface using an applicator that is configured to apply the liquid latex to an applicator area that is smaller than the mould surface. The method further comprises providing relative movement between the applicator and the former to produce a latex coating that covers the mould surface, curing the latex coating on the former to form the latex rubber article, and removing the latex rubber article from the former.

The present invention is to provide: a rubber composition which has excellent wet grip performance and wear resistance while maintaining the elongation thereof at a high level; and a pneumatic tire and a conveyer belt produced using the rubber composition. The present invention provides: a rubber composition containing a polymer containing from 10 to 90 mass % of a modified diene rubber having a carboxy group and an epoxy compound having a plurality of epoxy groups in each molecule, the content of the epoxy compound being from 0.1 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the polymer; and a pneumatic tire and a conveyor belt produced using the rubber composition.

A flame-retardant single-, or multi-layered, fibre-matrix semi-finished product has a polyamide-based fibre-matrix that includes at least one organic phosphinic acid salt and/or a diphosphinic acid salt. A process for the production thereof includes impregnating a fibre ply, or plies, and consolidating the ply or plies into a composite.

Paint, clear coat, stain, adhesive, or other aqueous formulations that contain at least one [(dimethylamino)alkyl]-imino-dialcohol and a alkyd emulsion, polymer latex or polyurethane dispersion binder. Also disclosed are methods for manufacture and use of these formulations. The [(dimethylamino)alkyl]-imino-dialcohols provide aqueous formulations having low odor and reduced volatile organic compounds (VOC). The [(dimethylamino)alkyl]-imino-dialcohols also aid in dispersing pigment and other solids so less co-dispersant is needed for aqueous paint or coating formulations.
