The market for polyester, nylon, and rayon yarns in tire applications

摘要

AbstractThe use of rayon, nylon, and polyester in various tire applications is described, and the relative merits of each are defined. Future development objectives and expectations are outlined. Volume projections for polyester, nylon, and rayon in tire reinforcement are given as a function of tire type. Product life cycles of tire reinforcement materials are analyzed in terms of market share. Polyester is expected to become dominant in 1973.
