METHOD TO MAKE RADIOPAQUE A REINFORCING LAYER FOR A MANUFACTURED PRODUCT MADE OF ELASTOMERIC MATERIAL AND MANUFACTURED PRODUCT COMPRISING SAID LAYER

摘要

A reinforcing fabric includes a plurality of non-metallic reinforcing cords. The non-metallic reinforcing cords are at least partially enclosed in elastomeric material and are radiopaque. A method to make the reinforcing fabric includes rendering a plurality of non-metallic cords radiopaque using one or more radiopaque compounds and enclosing the non-metallic cords in elastomeric material. The reinforcing fabric includes the elastomeric material enclosing the non-metallic reinforcing cords. A tyre for a vehicle wheel includes at least one rubberized reinforcing fabric. The at least one rubberized reinforced fabric includes elastomeric material including a plurality of non-metallic reinforcing cords. The plurality of non-metallic reinforcing cords are radiopaque.
