9-Micron Continuous Filament Fiberglass Tire Fabric with RFL from China
Closed woven, plain weave fabric of colored, electrically nonconductive 9-micron diameter continuous fiberglass filaments, impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex for adhesion in high-performance tire production. HTS 7019.63.70.00 applies due to the filament size within 9-11 microns, specific RFL treatment, and tire cord purpose without lamination. Chapter notes confirm glass fibers' classification regardless of article character.
