Polyester Tire Cord Monofilament from China
Polyester tire cord monofilament is a high-tenacity synthetic monofilament with a linear density under 67 decitex, untwisted or with a twist of less than 5 turns per metre, imported in bulk for tire reinforcement applications.

This product is not put up for retail sale and is used in industrial manufacturing.
