Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Method for the treatment of single-filament polyethylene terephthalate cords for the reinforcing layers of a pneumatic tyre comprising (a) an adhesive solution coating step, wherein the single filament cord is immersed in an adhesive solution; (b) a drying step, wherein the cord covered in adhesive resin is held within a drying oven at a temperature of between 12° and 180° C.; and (c) a thermobonding step wherein the cord, proceeding from the drying step, is arranged within an oven at a temperature of between 23° and 260° C. for a period of between 30 and 90 seconds. During the thermobonding step, the single filament cord is subjected to a tension of between 8 and 12 mN/dtex.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for treatment of single filament cords for reinforcing layers of a pneumatic tire, said method comprising: an adhesive solution coating step, wherein a single-ply cord comprising a single filament is immersed in an adhesive solution; a drying step, wherein the single-ply cord covered in adhesive resin is held in a drying oven at a temperature of between 12° and 180° C.; and a thermobonding step wherein the cord, proceeding from the drying step, is arranged within an oven at a temperature of between 23° and 260° C. for a period of between 30 and 90 seconds, wherein during said thermobonding step a tensile load of between 8 and 12 mN/dtex is applied to the single filament of the single-ply cord. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said thermobonding step is performed at a temperature of between 235 and 250° C. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said thermobonding step endures for a period of between 40 and 80 seconds. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the single filament cord has a linear density of between 1000 and 2000 dtex. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the single filament cord has a twist factor of between 70 and 180. 6. The method of claim 1 , the single filament cord has a twist factor of between 120 and 160. 7. A method for treatment of single filament cords for reinforcing layers of a pneumatic tire, said method comprising: an adhesive solution coating step, wherein a single filament cord is immersed in an adhesive solution; a drying step, wherein the cord covered in adhesive resin is held in a drying oven at a temperature of between 12° and 180° C.; and a thermobonding step wherein the cord, proceeding from the drying step, is arranged within an oven at a temperature of between 23° and 260° C. for a period of between 30 and 90 seconds, wherein during said thermobonding step the single filament cord is subjected to a tension ranging from about 8.9 mN/dtex to about 10.3 mN/dtex.
