An endless belt includes a base layer and a resin layer. The base layer includes a metal film. The resin layer is laminated on an outer side of the base layer. The resin layer includes edge portions in an axial direction with at least one edge ponton of the edge portions made narrower than the base layer in the axial direction such that the outer side of the base layer is exposed.

Disclosed is a set of lining plates made of radial tires to protect pieces of equipment from abrasion and to absorb impacts where said set of lining plates comprises a plurality of lining plates made of radial tires that are laid out next to each other in order to line the surface of a given equipment. The lining plates that make up the set are fitted with tongues and grooves so as to allow them to be joined together and make it possible for a perfect fixation through special hook-type screws in order to secure an effective sealing of the equipment surface on which said plates were installed, thus preventing any material from entering the space between the lining plates. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the lining plates of the set using radial tires.

The present invention relates to an aqueous dipping composition for coating a textile reinforcing material, comprising 4% to 50% by dry weight of at least one rubber latex, 0.1% to 4.5% by dry weight of at least one blocked isocyanate, 0.02% to 20% by dry weight of at least one filler, 0.2% to 4% by dry weight of at least one epoxy group-containing compound, and 0.1% to 2% by dry weight of at least one polymer with carboxylic acid functional groups, wherein the amounts in % by dry weight are based on the total weight of the aqueous dipping composition. The composition is essentially free of resorcinol, resorcinol precondensates, formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing substances. The present invention relates to a use of such a composition, a process for coating a textile reinforcing material with this composition, a coated textile reinforcing material and a respective elastomeric article comprising the same.
