Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a metal cord with two concentric layers of wires is provided. The cord includes an internal layer of M wires, M having a value from 1 to 4, and an external layer of N wires. The cord is rubberized from within in situ. That is, during manufacture of the cord, the cord is rubberized from inside. According to the method, the internal layer is sheathed with rubber or a rubber compound by passing the internal layer through an extrusion head, and the N wires of the external layer are assembled around the sheathed internal layer to form a two-layer cord rubberized from the inside. The rubber is an unsaturated thermoplastic elastomer that is extruded in a molten state, and preferably is a thermoplastic styrene (TPS) type of thermoplastic elastomer, such as an SBS or an SIS block copolymer, for example.

Abstract:
Provided is an elastomer reinforcement cord with improved rust resistance. An elastomer reinforcement cord 10 includes metal filaments and a polymer material. The elastomer reinforcement cord 10 has a multi-strand structure which includes: at least one core strand 21 formed by twisting plural metal filaments 1a and 1b together; and two or more sheath strands 22 each formed by twisting plural metal filaments 11a and 11b together, the sheath strands being twisted together around the core strand. An intra-sheath-strand filling rate a, which is a ratio of the area of the polymer material with respect to an intra-sheath-strand gap region A, is 52% or higher, and an inter-strand filling rate b, which is a ratio of the area of the polymer material with respect to an inter-strand gap region B, is 75% or higher.
Abstract:
Metal cord (C-1) with two concentric layers (Ci, Ce) of M+N construction, comprising an internal first layer or core (Ci) made up of M wire(s) (10) of diameter d1, M varying from 1 to 4, around which core are wound together in a helix, in an external second layer (Ce), N wires (11) of diameter d2, in which at least some of the gaps in the cord which are situated between the wires of the various contain a filling rubber (13) based on an unsaturated thermoplastic elastomer, particularly a styrene thermoplastic elastomer (TPS) such an SBS or SIS block copolymer for example.Such a thermoplastic elastomer, when used in the molten state, presents no problems of unwanted stickiness if the filling rubber overspills outside the cord after manufacture; its unsaturated and therefore (co)vulcanizable nature makes it extremely compatible with the diene rubber, for example natural rubber, matrices usually used as calendering rubber in the metal fabrics intended for reinforcing the tyres.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing a high strength synthetic strength member (7) containing rope (1) capable of being used with powered blocks where such rope has lighter weight and similar or greater strength than steel wire strength member containing ropes used with powered blocks. Disclosed also is the product resulting from such method. The product includes a synthetic strength member, a first synthetic portion (9) and a second synthetic portion.
