Transmission Belts

  We offer a complete range of rubber impregnated glass cords for the reinforcement of rubber drive belts in automotive, industrial and household appliance applications.
     
  Glass cord reinforcements use the unique properties of glass fibres to give dimensional stability to drive belts, where there is a critical need for synchronous transfer of power.

Extruded Rubber Profiles, Hose and Cable

Rubber impregnated glass cord prevents stretching of extruded rubber profiles; reducing wastage during manufacture, and ensuring improved sealing in automotive and building applications. Glass Cord is used to reinforce rubber hose and cable coverings. It can also be used to reinforce fillers in electrical cables.cross the road designated for NGF Canada.

     
 

Woven Fabrics

Fabrics woven with glass cord give dimensional stability to complex moulded products, such as escalator handrails. The excellent adhesive quality of rubber impregnated glass fabric gives added strength to the handrail composites, preventing delamination and damage in use. Woven fabrics including glass cord are also used in dryer felts and conveyor belts.

     
 

Tires

Glass Cord reinforcement gives improved heat dissipation, greater tensile strength, increased tread life and a smoother ride when woven into a fabric, or used on its own, in high performance pneumatic tires.

     
 

Friction Materials

When used in composite friction facings, glass yarns with added rubber treatment improve adhesion within the matrix, and give greater wear resistance and longer life to vehicle clutches and brakes.

     
 

Industrial Brushes

Used as bristles for industrial brushes, the abrasive quality of cut glass cord will burnish metal without scratching. Good chemical resistance of the glass also enables the application of acidic flux to metals.

     
 

Solid Tyres
Rubber Impregnated Chopped Strand (RICS)

strengthen solid rubber tires, preventing chipping and prolonging life; particularly when used on rugged terrain.

     

Design Service

Our GLASS CORDS can be designed to suit customers' individual needs. Glass constructions can be varied to give cords of different tensile strengths, weights, diameters, twist levels and dynamic potentials. The chemical formulations of our RFL treatments can be adjusted to optimize compatibility with customers' compounds; and secondary adhesive overcoats when necessary can also be designed to give enhanced adhesion in more demanding conditions.

Our coating and yarn impregnation expertise can be applied to other synthetic continuous fibres, such as aramid and carbon fibre.

 
Polyurethane Treatment is also available for the range of fibres
