  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20130344276
    Abstract: The aim is to achieve enhanced, and more particularly more stable, adhesive bonds or seals of substrates having different characteristics under thermal load. This aim is accomplished by provision of an adhesive tape having a thickness of at least 150 ?m, and exhibiting after storage at 120-150° C. over 60 to 210 days an extendability in machine direction of at least three times its original extent.
