Description

The challenge for today’s hose manufacturers is to meet the ever-increasing demands of industry and OEMs for higher working pressures, more flexible handling, excellent dynamic performance, greater durability, and safer, “greener” products. SKS meets these diverse demands with a wide range of high-tech yarns for hose reinforcement.

Aramid:

  • High breaking tenacity with low elongation and creep to ensure high working pressure
  • High flexibility and dimensional stability,and good chemical and heat resistance
  • Linear density range from 420–3360 dtex (including plied constructions)
  • Available as twisted greige yarn or RFL-dipped yarn for excellent adhesion

Polyvinylalcohol (PVA):

  • High breaking tenacity with low elongation and low shrinkage for high dimensional stability
  • Bio-degradable
  • Linear density range from 1330–2000 dtex (including plied constructions)/li>
  • Available as twisted greige yarn or RFL-dipped yarn for excellent adhesion

Rayon:

  • Excellent breaking tenacity with low elongation and low shrinkage for high dimensional stability
  • Bio-degradable
  • Linear density range from 1260–2440 dtex (including plied constructions)
  • Available as twisted greige yarn or RFL-dipped yarn for excellent adhesion

Polyester (PET):

  • Excellent breaking tenacity with medium elongation and low shrinkage
  • High flexibility and handling
  • Linear density range from 550–2200 dtex (including plied constructions)
  • Available as twisted greige yarn or RFL-dipped yarn for excellent adhesion


Polyamide (PA66):

  • Excellent breaking tenacity with medium to high elongation for extended flexibility
  • Linear density range from 470–2100 dtex (including plied constructions)
  • Available as twisted greige yarn or RFL-dipped yarn for excellent adhesion

All RFL-dipped yarns have excellent properties of adhesion to commonly used rubber compounds, like EPDM, NR, SBR, and CR. Yarns can also be tailored to optimize adhesion to customer-specific rubber compounds.

Single End Cord for Tires

High uniformity and clean, perfect processing are the key requirements that today’s
tire manufacturers have of Single End Cord (SEC). The use of SEC in specific production methods is gaining ground due to higher efficiency and flexibility of the
manufacturing process. For many years, SKS has been a key supplier of SEC, offering
a tailored portfolio of high-tech SEC.

Hybrids:

  • High breaking tenacity with low elongation and creep for excellent driving stability
  • High flexibility, extended lifetime and good chemical and heat resistance
  • Available as twisted and RFL-dipped cord for excellent adhesion, in a wide variety of tailor-made plied constructions
  • Application: Cap Ply

Polyamide (PA66):

  • Excellent breaking tenacity with medium to high elongation, ensuring comfortable driving
  • Available as twisted and RFL-dipped cord for excellent adhesion, in a wide variety of tailormade plied constructions
  • Application: Cap Ply

Rayon:

  • Excellent breaking tenacity with low elongation and low shrinkage for high dimensional stability
  • Bio-degradable
  • Available as twisted and RFL-dipped cord for excellent adhesion, in a wide variety of tailormade plied constructions
  • Application: Carcass

Polyester (PET):

  • Excellent breaking tenacity with medium elongation and low shrinkage
  • High flexibility and excellent driving handling
  • Available as twisted and RFL-dipped cord for excellent adhesion, in a wide variety of tailormade plied constructions
  • Application: Carcass

All RFL-dipped cords have excellent properties of adhesion to commonly used rubber compounds like NR and SBR. Cords can also be tailored to optimize adhesion to customer-specific rubber compounds.

All SECs for tire applications are manufactured with 100% quality control throughout each production step, guaranteeing high uniformity and clean processing.

Single End Cord for Automotive and Industrial Belts

Today, belts in both the automotive and the industrial/agricultural sectors are being required to transmit ever higher forces. More and more aggregates are being driven by single belts, so to extend their lifetimes, belt components need to have high resistance to fatigue. In addition, in the automotive industry, belts are increasingly replacing metal chains as part of the drive to reduce CO2 emissions. SKS offers a range of high-tech cords that allow belt manufacturers to meet these new demands and develop their products accordingly.


Polyester (PET):

  • Excellent breaking tenacity with medium elongation and low shrinkage for high flexibility and extended lifetime
  • Available as twisted and RFL-dipped cord for excellent adhesion, in a wide variety of tailormade plied constructions
  • Soft-dipped as well as semi-stiff-dipped for improved fray resistance

Aramid:

  • High breaking tenacity with low elongation and creep for excellent power transmission
  • High flexibility and dimensional stability, and good chemical and heat resistance
  • Available as twisted and RFL-dipped cord for excellent adhesion, in a wide variety of tailormade plied constructions.
  • Soft-dipped as well as semi-stiff-dipped for improved fray resistance


Polyamide (PA66):

  • Excellent breaking tenacity with medium to high elongation for extended flexibility
  • Available as twisted and RFL-dipped cord for excellent adhesion, in a wide variety of tailormade plied constructions
  • Soft-dipped as well as semi-stiff-dipped for improved fray resistance

All RFL-dipped cords have excellent properties of adhesion to commonly used rubber compounds, like EPDM, NR, SBR, CR and (H-)NBR. Cords can also be tailored to optimize adhesion to customerspecific rubber compounds.




Single End Yarn for Paper Felt

Paper Machine Clothing (PMC) calls for stable and uniform monofilamentbased yarn constructions to fulfill the requirements for processing and fabric stability. SKS offers a variety of specially optimized monofilament-based constructions to meet these needs, which fit as well in high demanding paper industry applications like Shoe-Press-Belts.


Monofilament Polyamide (PA6):

  • High uniformity in linear density, diameter, surface properties and shrinkage to ensure high stability
  • Available as twisted cord and in a wide variety of tailor-made plied Constructions


Hybrids:

  • High uniformity in linear density, diameter and shrinkage to ensure high stability with tailored and optimized surface properties
  • Available as twisted cord and in a wide variety of tailor-made plied constructions

Twisted monofil

All RFL-dipped yarns have excellent properties of adhesion to commonly used rubber compounds, like EPDM, NR, SBR, and CR. Yarns can also be tailored to optimize adhesion to customer-specific rubber compounds.
