Nylon Tyre Cord Fabric

Nylon tyre cord fabric is a type of reinforcing material used in the construction of tires. Made from nylon fibers, this cord provides strength, flexibility, and durability to the tire structure. It is embedded in the rubber layers of the tire to enhance its performance characteristics, including its ability to handle stresses and maintain structural integrity under various driving conditions.

Characteristics

Strength

• High Tensile Strength: Nylon cord fabric provides substantial reinforcement, ensuring the tire can handle various stresses and loads.

Flexibility

• Bendability: Offers flexibility that allows the tire to conform to different road surfaces while maintaining strength and durability.

Durability

• Wear and Abrasion Resistance: Nylon fibers are resistant to wear and can endure mechanical stresses and road impacts.

Thermal Stability

• Heat Resistance: Capable of withstanding the heat generated during tire operation without significant degradation.

Moisture Resistance

• Hydrophobic Properties: Nylon has some level of resistance to moisture, which helps maintain its performance in varying weather conditions.

Key Characteristics

High Tensile Strength

• Purpose: Ensures that the tire can withstand high loads and stress without failure.

Flexibility and Adaptability

• Purpose: Allows the tire to flex and adapt to different driving conditions and road surfaces while maintaining structural integrity.

Durability and Abrasion Resistance

• Purpose: Provides long-term performance by resisting wear and mechanical damage from road contact.

Thermal and Moisture Stability

• Purpose: Ensures the tire maintains performance and structural integrity under varying temperature and moisture conditions.
