ENHANCE THE TREATMENT OF POLYESTER CORD BY USING A COMBINATION OF PHENOLIC- AND CAPROLACTAM-BLOCKED ISOCYANATES
This article describes the use of isocyanates in the production of polyester tyre cord, and describes a newly developed blend which enables use at lower temperatures. Isocyanates significantly improve the rubber-to-fabric adhesion. Adequate isocyanates are caprolactam-blocked MDI, phenol-blocked MDI, and dimerized TDI, the active ingredients being the blocked or chemically hindered isocyanate groups. Dimerized TDI can be used in a wide range of temperatures but is difficult to transform into a stable dispersion. Phenol-blocked and caprolactam-blocked MDI can be transformed although caprolactam-blocked MDI needs higher temperatures to unblock: phenol-blocked performs better at temperatures up to 230 degrees C. A combination of the two promises the best overall performance at a range of temperatures but they are supplied in different forms which are difficult to blend. A new product has been developed by blending before milling. First tests indicate that it significantly enhances the fabric or tyre cord treating process.
