Cord, carcass and dispersed reinforcement
Filament yarn carries loads in flexible products; staple, super-short fibre and pulp reinforce and tune the properties of compounds.
Rubber goods, belts, hoses and tires
Reinforcement for rubber and friction materials
Para-aramid is used as cord and a load-bearing carcass in belts, hoses and tires; pulp and short fibre are used in friction, sealing and reinforced rubber compounds.
01 — ROLE IN THE PRODUCT
How each material works
The material is selected by its function in the structure. The same product may require different fibres depending on the environment and load.
02 — APPLICATIONS
Where the yarn is used
Conveyor belts
Aramid carcass for lower weight and tensile-load handling.
High-pressure hoses
Load-bearing reinforcement considering impulse loads, bending and rubber adhesion.
Tires and belts
Cord and strength members for tires, drive belts and variator belts.
Friction and sealing products
Pulp and fibre in brake linings, clutches, packings, gaskets and seals.

Supply forms and series
A starting point for a technical inquiry, not a ready-made pilot specification.
- Filament yarn 220–3340 dtex
- Staple 38/51 mm
- Super-short fibre 3/6 mm
- Pulp; size range and surface treatment available on request
What the material offers
- High specific strength and modulus
- Heat and abrasion resistance
- Electrical insulation
- Different forms for cord and dispersed reinforcement
Mandatory checks
- Rubber adhesion and surface treatment are critical
- Fatigue and impulse loads must be assessed
- Compound formulation matters as much as fibre
- UHMWPE is not the primary material for this segment
05 — SELECTION AND PILOT
Four inputs for a technical inquiry
The more precise the inputs, the fewer unnecessary samples and the faster the comparison with the incumbent material.
ProductBelt, hose, drive belt, tire, lining or seal
FormCord, yarn, staple, short fibre or pulp
CompoundRubber, resin, dipping, adhesion and dispersion
LoadTension, impulse, bending, abrasion and temperature
