10.5 Micron Nonconductive RFL Fiberglass Tire Reinforcement Fabric from Germany

This tire cord fabric is woven from 10.5-micron continuous fiberglass filaments that are electrically nonconductive and treated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex for superior bonding to polymeric tire compounds. It matches HTS 7019.72.30.00 precisely due to filament diameter range, RFL impregnation, and non-colored status for closed weave tire applications. Used primarily in passenger and light truck tire construction for durability.

Import Tips

Include SEM micrographs or micron measurement certs for filaments; discrepancies can trigger audits and shifts to higher-duty codes

Ensure latex treatment is documented as resorcinol formaldehyde specifically—generic impregnants may not qualify for this narrow subheading
