NON-LOAD BEARING CUT RESISTANT TIRE SIDE-WALL COMPONENT, TIRE CONTAINING SAID COMPONENT, AND PROCESSES FOR MAKING SAME

摘要

This invention relates to a cut resistant tire side-wall component (6) and processes for making such components, and a tire (1) containing such component, the side-wall component (6) comprising a textile fabric wherein a single layer of said fabric provides multi-directional cut resistance in the plane of the fabric, the fabric comprising at least one single yarn having a sheath/core construction, the sheath comprising cut-resistant polymeric staple fibers and the core comprising an inorganic fiber, the fabric further having a coating for improved adhesion of the fabric to rubber such that the cut resistant tire side-wall component has a free area of from 18 to 65 percent.
