  • Patent number: 11168760
    Abstract: It is an object to improve the anti-fraying properties of rubber-reinforcing cords without significant reduction in productivity. The present invention provides a water-based treatment agent for forming a rubber-reinforcing cord having a coating. The water-based treatment agent includes a rubber latex, a crosslinking agent, and a filler. A content of the crosslinking agent is 50 parts by mass or more and 150 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of solids contained in the rubber latex, and a content of the filler is more than 50 parts by mass and 80 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the solids contained in the rubber latex.

  • Patent number: 10041194
    Abstract: The reinforcing cord of the present invention includes at least one strand. The strand includes a bundle of filaments that are bundled and twisted together in one direction, and a coating layer that is formed on at least the surface of the bundle. The bundle consists essentially of carbon fiber filaments. The coating layer is a coating layer that is formed from an aqueous treatment agent containing a rubber latex and a crosslinking agent as essential components and a filler as an optional component. In the aqueous treatment agent, the total of the mass of the crosslinking agent and the mass of the filler is in a range of 1 to 50% of the mass of rubber in the rubber latex.

  • Patent number: 8176719
    Abstract: A reinforcing cord of the present invention is a reinforcing cord (10) for rubber reinforcement including a fiber core (11) and a plurality of strands (12) disposed around the fiber core (11). The fiber core (11) is formed of one or a plurality of highly elastic fibers having a tensile elastic modulus of at least 100 GPa. Each of the plurality of strands (12) is formed of a plurality of glass fibers that are primarily twisted, and the plurality of strands (12) are finally twisted to be disposed around the fiber core (11). The direction of the final twist of the plurality of strands is opposite to the direction of the primary twist in each of the plurality of strands (12). The number of final twists of the plurality of strands (12) is 1.0 to 3.0 times/25 mm, and a ratio of the number of primary twists in each of the plurality of strands (12) to the number of final twists of the plurality of strands (12) (the number of primary twists/the number of final twists) is in a range of 1.5 to 2.5.
