RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 9.5 Micron from Germany

This is a woven fabric made from continuous fiberglass filaments measuring 9.5 microns in diameter, electrically nonconductive, and impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) treatment to enhance adhesion to rubber compounds in tire manufacturing. It falls under HTS 7019.62.70.00 due to its specific filament diameter range (9-11 microns), closed roving structure, coloration, and RFL impregnation designed for tire cord applications. Primarily used as reinforcement in radial tires for passenger vehicles.

Import Tips

• Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) via lab testing; deviations shift to 7019.62.40 or other subheadings

• Provide supplier certification for RFL impregnation and electrical nonconductivity to avoid reclassification as general glass fabric
