  • Reinforcement for elastomeric articles
    Patent number: 4216856
    Abstract: A reinforcement strip for an elastomeric material article such as belting or hose comprising a multiplicity of mutually parallel substantially untwisted filaments which are impregnated such that substantially every filament is coated by a matrix material providing a peel strength between filaments of at least 3.15 KN/m. The matrix material may be a plastisol e.g. pvc (polyvinyl chloride) and dry bonding agents are preferably incorporated. Belting and a method of manufacture are included in the invention.
