RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 9.5 Microns from Germany

This closed woven plain weave fabric is made from continuous electrically nonconductive fiberglass filaments measuring 9.5 microns in diameter, impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) for enhanced adhesion to rubber compounds in tire manufacturing. It falls under HTS 7019.64.30.00 due to its specific filament size range (9-11 microns), non-colored status, and RFL treatment designed for tire cord applications. The mechanical bonding and lamination ensure durability under high-stress conditions.

Import Tips

• Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation via lab testing to confirm HTS 7019.64.30.00 classification and avoid reclassification to broader fiberglass fabrics

• Provide manufacturer specs and end-use certification as tire cord to support duty-free or preferential treatment under certain trade agreements
