9-Micron RFL Treated Fiberglass Tire Reinforcement Fabric from China
Closed woven fiberglass tire cord fabric using 9-micron diameter continuous nonconductive filaments, impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex for optimal bonding in rubber tire plies. Classified under HTS 7019.61.05.00 for its narrow width ≤30 cm, exact filament specs, and specialized RFL treatment tailored for pneumatic tire manufacturing. This distinguishes it from broader glass fiber textiles.

Import Tips
• Conduct filament diameter measurement and RFL composition analysis to substantiate HTS claim; retain supplier specs confirming nonconductive properties
• Pitfall: incomplete impregnation documentation leading to downgrade to unfinished fabrics
• Label clearly as tire cord to support end-use verification by Customs
