The present invention is directed to a method for producing a reinforced rubber component. The method comprises the steps of: melt spinning a thermoplastic polymer to produce a first stage monofilament (113); immediately after the step of melt spinning, quenching the first stage monofilament (113) in at least one liquid comprising an adhesive to produce a second stage monofilament (115) having said adhesive dispersed on a surface thereof; after said quenching, subjecting the second stage monofilament (115) to at least one additional step selected from the group consisting of drying, drawing, heat treating, and surface treating to produce a 2000 to 10,000 decitex monofilament; and contacting the 2000 to 10,0000 decitex monofilament with a rubber composition to form a reinforced rubber component. |
