HYBRID DIPPED CORD EXHIBITING EXCELLENT FATIGUE RESISTANCE AND RADIAL PNEUMATIC TIRE HAVING SAME APPLIED THERETO
20210114414 · 2021-04-22 ·

The present invention relates to a tire cord and a radial pneumatic tire, and is characterized in that when one raw nylon 6,6 or nylon 6 yarn and one aramid yarn are pre-twisted respectively and are then cabled to generate a raw cord, and when the raw cord is untwisted, the aramid yarn is input 5 to 100 mm/m longer than the nylon 6,6 or nylon 6 yarn. The hybrid dip cord according to the present invention has an excellent fatigue resistance of 80% or more, the initial deformation in the tensile test causes low modulus to be generated by nylon and causes high modulus to be expressed from the section where aramid begins to receive the force. As such, deformation is easy during the work of inflating the green tire inside the mold with the bladder, which makes the manufacturing of tires easy.

Another object of the present invention relates to a method for producing a hybrid dip cord using nylon 6,6 yarn and aramid yarn, in which nylon 6,6 yarn and aramid yarn are pre-twisted by using one selected from the group consisting of a method of controlling the tension applied to the live cord, a method of adjusting the heat treatment temperature, and a method of controlling the heat treatment time, and they are cabled to make a raw cord, then the raw cord is dipped in an adhesive and is then heat-treated to thereby produce a dip cord in which nylon 6,6 has been further shrunk.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a hybrid dip cord for a carcass ply or cap ply layer of a pneumatic radial tire having a certain degree of fatigue resistance, which is produced by dipping the raw cord using the nylon 6,6 and the aramid yarn in a dipping solution and then heat-treating the raw cord so that the nylon 6,6 may further shrink.

In the present invention, twist numbers of aramid yarn and nylon yarn are kept the same during twisting, to thereby allowing a heat treatment process after producing a raw cord, by which the nylon yarn shrinks, and the aramid yarn is set to be longer than the nylon yarn per unit length when the dip cord is untwisted, thereby increasing the fatigue resistance. According to the present invention, it is possible to overcome the disadvantage that it is difficult to deform in a mold with a high modulus when using the aramid alone, and it is possible to improve low fatigue resistance and adhesion which are problematic when using aramid alone, and it is possible to produce high performance tires by improving low modulus and heat resistance that are problematic when using nylon 6,6 alone.

Further, a method of manufacturing a hybrid dip cord according to the present invention includes: a step of preparing one nylon 6,6 yarn or ny
