A composite extrusion for an automotive seal strip is formed of an
extruded body, and a veneer extruded onto the body. The extruded body is
composed of ethylene-propylene diene rubber compound. The veneer is
composed of a polymer blend that includes the reaction product of an
acrylate polymer and a glycidyl acrylate polymer. The reaction of the
acrylate polymer and the glycidyl acrylate polymer improves adhesion and
also provides a barrier to inhibit migration of vulcanizing agents from
the ethylene-propylene diene rubber body into the veneer that would
otherwise cause discoloration during use.
