  • Publication number: 20200346494
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rubberized reinforcing ply (1) for articles consisting of an elastomeric material, preferably for vehicle tires, wherein the reinforcing ply (1) has a multiplicity of textile strengthening members (2) which are arranged parallel to and spaced apart from one another, wherein each textile strengthening member (2) is composed of at least one twisted multifilament yarn composed of the material viscose. The reinforcing ply (1) satisfies the following condition: (D2/E0) in mm corresponds to a value in a range from 0.30 mm to 0.45 mm, and the reinforcing ply (1) has a strength of 11 kN/dm<x<20 kN/dm, where D is the diameter of the textile strengthening member (2) in mm and lies in a range from 0.38 mm to 0.48 mm, and where E0=100/epdm.

  • Publication number: 20190275837
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rubberized reinforcing ply for articles made of elastomeric material, preferably for pneumatic vehicle tires, where the reinforcing ply has a multitude of strength members which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, where each strength member consists of at least one twisted multifilament yarn composed of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), where the multifilament yarn has a yarn count (linear density) of 50 to 1100 dtex and a linear density-based ultimate tensile strength of ?70 cN/tex in accordance with ASTM D885-16, and where the rubberized material has a thickness D. The invention further relates to a pneumatic vehicle tire comprising this reinforcing ply. The multifilament yarn has an elongation at break of 10% to 20% in accordance with ASTM D885-16, a crystallinity determined via DSC of 55% to 65% and a birefringence ?n with 0.21??n?0.25.

  • Patent number: 9902203
    Abstract: A pneumatic commercial vehicle tire of radial design includes at least a three-ply belt, of which two belt plies are working plies and one radially outermost belt ply is a cover ply. Each of these belt plies includes reinforcements which are made of steel cord and which are embedded in elastomer. The steel cords of each of the three belt plies are coated with brass so as to provide for good elastomer adhesion. The brass coating of the reinforcement supports of the two working plies has a copper proportion of 60 wt. % to 65 wt. % and the brass coating of the reinforcement supports of the cover ply has a copper proportion of 66 wt. % to 70 wt. %.

  • Patent number: 9815339
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic vehicle tire (1) of radial design having a carcass (4) and having components (9, 10) which adjoin the carcass (4), wherein thread-shaped elements (11) are arranged on at least one of the two surfaces of the carcass (4) and preferably serve to discharge occluded air between the carcass (4) and the adjoining components (9, 10) during the construction of the tire. In order to improve the electrical conductivity of the pneumatic vehicle tire (1), at least one thread-shaped element (11) has a coating which is electrically conductive and jointly forms an electrically conductive, thread-shaped element (12) which has an electrical resistance of <1×107 Ohm/cm. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the electrically conductive coating.

  • Patent number: 9677198
    Abstract: A hybrid cord of at least two multifilament yarns twisted together is described, where the first yarn is a viscose multifilament yarn and the second yarn is a non-metallic multifilament yarn composed of a material that is not identical to the first multifilament yarn. The viscose multifilament yarn is conditioned in the standard climate in accordance with DIN EN ISO 139-1:2005, and has a yarn linear density <1100 dtex and a breaking tenacity of ?45 cN/tex. The hybrid cord has a cord linear density of ?3000 dtex.
