An adhesive composition exhibitiing strong rubber-to-metal bonds with excellent environmental resistance without the necessity of first priming the metal surface has been discovered. The composition comprises a halogen-containing polyolefin, an aromatic nitroso compound, a polymaleimide compound, and a metal oxide such as zinc oxide or magnesium oxide. The composition may optionally contain a vulcanizing agent such as sulfur or selenium, a phenolic epoxy resin, or carbon black. |
