  • Publication number: 20090056849
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyester cord for reinforcement of rubber where heat-resistant adhesive property when exposed to high temperature for long time in a state of being embedded in a rubber composition or under a high-temperature atmosphere is significantly improved, stiffness of the cord is made soft to such a level which is no problem in terms of practical use in view of anti-fatigue property and also of molding and processing property of the rubber-reinforced product and a high elastic modulus is available; and a method for manufacturing the same.
