  • Patent number: 10315465
    Abstract: A reinforced product (21) comprises: an elastomer matrix (23), several reinforcing elements (44) embedded in the elastomer matrix (23), the reinforcing elements (44) being arranged side by side in a main direction (X1). Each reinforcing element (44) comprises: at least one filamentary element, and at least one sheath coating the filamentary element and comprising at least one layer of a thermoplastic polymer composition. The ratio R1=ODO/E of the mean minimum thickness ODO of elastomer present on the back of the sheath to the mean thickness E of the reinforced product (21) is less than or equal to 0.17.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120003409
    Abstract: Inflatable article equipped with an elastomer layer impermeable to the inflation gases comprising at least: as first thermoplastic stirene elastomer, at least 50 phr of a copolymer containing polystirene and polyisobutylene blocks, in particular SIBS; as second thermoplastic stirene elastomer, at most 50 phr of a thermoplastic stirene copolymer of unsaturated type, in particular SIS; and optionally an extender oil, in particular polybutene, at a content preferably between 5 and 100 phr. This gastight elastomer layer has very good impermeability properties and a lower hysteresis compared to layers based on butyl rubber. The inflatable article can be, in particular, an inner tube or a pneumatic tire for a motor vehicle.
