Tire belt

Silica. The main uses of siUca are in the treads of off-the-road tines for improved chunking and tear resistance and as a component of the bonding system for brass and 2inc-plated steel cord. These are commonly used in radial passenger and tmck tire belt skim stock. In addition the body pHes of steel radial tmck tires, hoses and belts, and footwear use significant volumes of siUca as a reinforcing filler. 

The rubber stock, once compounded and mixed, must be molded or transformed into the form of one of the final parts of the tire. This consists of several parallel processes by which the sheeted rubber and other raw materials, such as cord and fabric, are made into the following basic tire components tire beads, tire treads, tire cords, and the tire belts (fabric). Tire beads are coated wires inserted in the pneumatic tire at the point where the tire meets the wheel rim (on which it is mounted) they ensure a seal between the rim and the tire. The tire treads are the part of the tire that meets the road surface their design and composition depend on the use of the tire. Tire cords are woven synthetic fabrics (rayon, nylon, polyester) impregnated with rubber they are the body of the tire and supply it with most of its strength. Tire belts stabilize the tires and prevent the lateral scrubbing or wiping action that causes tread wear. 

The processes used to produce the individual tire components usually involve similar steps. First, the raw stock is heated and subjected to a final mixing stage before going to a roller mill. The material is then peeled off rollers and continuously extruded into the final component shape. Tire beads are directly extruded onto the reinforcing wire used for the seal, and tire belt is produced by calendering rubber sheet onto the belt fabric.

A third interesting aspect of this story is that Du Pont s aramide fiber was not specifically the result of market-driven research. When this fiber was patented in 1971 there was no commercial application in view. However, within ten years, three varieties of Kevlar fiber were commercialized by Du Pont for dozens of reinforced plastic applications in radial passenger tires, belts, in protective clothing, such as gloves or ballistic and flak vests, in ropes and cables in racing kayaks and canoes, and in commercial aircraft. Thus the Kevlar fiber by no means resulted from the functional, bottom-up, approach which is sometimes considered as a major characteristic of materials science. The aramide fiber resulted from the traditional style of industrial research which was successful in the plastic era and confirms the leadership of chemistry in materials technologies. 

Reinforcement for tires (belts or radial tires for cars and carcasses of radial tires for trucks) and, in general, for mechanical rubber goods. 

Provides antiozonant and antioxidant properties with high temperature, fatigue and flex resistance to rubber compounds. Used in pneumatic tire components, solid tires, belts, hoses, cables, automotive mounts, bushings and general mechanical products that are exposed to continuous and intermittent dynamic operating conditions that require protection from ozonation. 

So it goes, all day long. The outside of the house is protected with hydrocarbon paint or possibly hydrocarbon derived vinyl plastie siding. In the car the dashboard, steering wheel, carpet, paint, lights, tires, belts, hoses, and in some ears the fenders, are hydrocarbon materials. Hydrocarbon-derived lubricants aid the proper function of the mechanical systems. The desk top at work, the light fixtures, the writing pen, the typewriter case, the computer case, the computer tape, the floppy disk, the hammer handle, the toolbox, and an almost endless stream of materials that make our lives pleasant, easier and more productive, are directly produced from hydrocarbon materials.

Carbon black is a finely divided form of carbon. It may ignite explosively if snspended in air in the presence of an ignition sonrce or slowly nndergo spontaneous combustion upon contact with water. In addition, it is toxic by inhalation, with a TLV of 3.5 mg/m in air. The primary uses are in the manufacture of tires, belt covers, plastics, carbon paper, colorant for printing inks, and as a solar-energy absorber.

Stainless steel fiber n. Textile fibers made of stainless steel. Steel fibers are used for antistatic purposes in carpets, for tire belt construction, and for high-temperature or heat-resistant end uses. 

Three types of Kevlar aramid fibers are available a high-tensile-strength, high-modulus type for reinforcement of plastic a similar fiber for use in ropes, cables, coated fabrics, and protective clothing and a third type designed to reinforce rubber products such as tires, belts, and hoses.
