COMPOSITE AND POWER TRANSMISSION BELT

The invention relates to a composite comprising: - at least one reinforcing element (10), - an adhesive layer (14) made from an adhesive composition, - an elastomeric bonding layer (16), - an elastomeric body. The adhesive composition comprises a resin based: - on an aromatic polyphenol comprising an aromatic ring bearing two hydroxyl functions in the meta position relative to one another, the two positions ortho to one of the hydroxyl functions being unsubstituted; and/or - on an aromatic monophenol comprising a six-membered aromatic ring bearing a single hydroxyl function, ◦ the two positions ortho to the hydroxyl function being unsubstituted or ◦ at least one position ortho to the hydroxyl function and the position para to the hydroxyl function being unsubstituted, and - on an aromatic compound comprising an aromatic ring bearing two functions, one of these functions being a hydroxymethyl function, the other being an aldehyde function or a hydroxymethyl function.
