The invention relates to an aqueous adhesive composition comprising A) a thermosetting resin, and B) an unsaturated elastomer latex, characterised in that the thermosetting resin comprises: at least one aromatic compound bearing at least two functions, one of said functions being a hydroxymethyl function, the other being an aldehyde function or a hydroxymethyl function, the aromatic compound comprising at least one aromatic ring; and at least one aromatic polyphenol comprising at least one aromatic ring bearing at least two hydroxyl functions in the meta position relative to one another, the two ortho-positions of at least one of the hydroxyl functions being non-substituted; and/or at least one aromatic monophenol comprising at least one six-membered aromatic ring bearing a single hydroxyl function, the two ortho-positions of the hydroxyl function being non-substituted, or at least one ortho-position and the para position of the hydroxyl function being non-substituted. Such an adhesive composition can be used, in particular, to adhere a textile material to a cross-linkable rubber composition, and is an advantageous alternative to the use of a formaldehyde-based RFL glue. |
