RFL-Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 9.5 Microns from Japan

Woven open fabric made from continuous electrically nonconductive fiberglass filaments measuring 9.5 microns in diameter, chemically bonded and impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) treatment to enhance adhesion to rubber compounds in tire manufacturing. This specialized tire cord falls under HTS 7019.73.51.00 due to its precise filament diameter range (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation for tire reinforcement applications. It provides high tensile strength and durability essential for radial tire construction.
