RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Cord 9-Micron from China
Electrically nonconductive continuous fiberglass filaments measuring 9 microns in diameter, twisted into cord and impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) for superior adhesion to rubber compounds. Used primarily as reinforcement in high-strength rubber belts and hoses. Classified under HTS 7019.19.70.00 due to its specific filament size and RFL treatment meeting the exact subheading criteria.

Import Tips
• Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation via lab testing, as deviations shift classification to other 7019 subheadings
• Provide supplier certificates confirming electrical nonconductivity and treatment formulation to avoid customs reclassification
