For tire-reinforcement applications, CORDENKA® can be supplied as cord or cord fabric, processed to meet the manufacturer’s specifications. The fabrics can be dipped for excellent adhesion to rubber and the CORDENKA converting concept saves the tire manufacturer additional processing steps while ensuring that all products – from basic yarn to finished cord fabric – can be obtained from a single source.
Fabrics: greige and dipped fabrics are produced according to customer specifications and cover various cord constructions, end counts and widths.
