Good know-how for the tear and the spindle resistance, adaptation of the rods for the specific needs of the tubeless tires

The Principal Concern AreasThe Principal Concern Areas

II.The different applications

Hoses, transmission belts and tires:

Reach a good adhesion between the yarns and the elastomer:

-improved by spun yarns (instead of multifilament yarns) for the mechanical adhesion

-in replacement of old solvent dissolution of rubber for economical and ecological reasons:

Treatment on the yarn : adhesive materials like iso-cyanate, epoxy resins, Polyurethanes and mostly RFL treatment (Resorcinol Formaldehyde Latex) :

Treatment in the rubber : iso-cyanate, RFS (Resorcinol Formaldehyde Silice)
