Polyester Tire Cord Monofilament from Japan
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. Despite its high tenacity, it is classified as 'other' synthetic filament yarn under tariff item 5402.49.00 because it is a monofilament and not a multiple or cabled yarn. This product is not put up for retail sale and is used in industrial manufacturing.
