COMPOSITION:

 

Kevlar®: Best known for its use in resistant armour, Kevlar® is an aramid fibre developed by DuPont™. It is a thermoplastic polymer consisting of aromatic rings which are separated by the amide groups. It is also used in various garments, accessories and equipment to enhance safety and abrasion resistance. It is light, durable and resistant.

This is a synthetic fibre which has excellent tensile properties and a high tensile strength. The toughness of Kevlar comes from its structure of hydrogen bonds held together between polymer chains.

 

Advantages:

  • Good traction resistance
  • Low density (1.45)
  • Zero thermal expansion
  • Vibration absorption and cushioning
  • Excellent shock and wear resistance
  • Good chemical behaviour

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

 

TPI (Threads Per Inch): This is the measurement of the thread density in the tyre's carcass. The higher the density, the lighter, more flexible and smooth the tyre.

Bead: A tyre bead is a bundle of copper, aramid or carbon wires and it is the part of the tyre that anchors it to the rim. Rigid beads (TR) are made from copper and soft beads (TS) are made of aramid or carbon. They are lighter and more resistant allowing the tyre to bend without damage: 

  • Rigid bead: robustness (33 to 66 TPI)
  • Soft bead: flexibility and efficiency (66 to 127 TPI)
