Description

BI-ELASTIC POLYESTER CAP PLY CORD
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel polyester tire cord reinforcement which has different tensile and thermal properties intermittently at its different parts along the cord. Such a novel bi-elastic polyester tire cord improves processability, high speed durability, eliminates flatspotting and enables high liftings during tire building and curing processes when used as spirally wound zero degree cap strip in pneumatic radial tires.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
Under high speed conditions, the outer diameter of the tire increases due to centrifugal forces generated by steel cord belt package and tread. Such a diameter increase or tire growth increases the pantographic movements of the belt edge cords leading to the crack initiations, crack propagations and at the end belt edge separations.
The cap ply layer which is spirally wound on belt package prevents excessive tire growth under high speed conditions by applying compressive forces (restraining force) on heavy belt package made of cross ply steel cord layers.
Currently, most widely used cap ply materials are nylon 6.6 and hybrid cords which are spirally wound on belt package at 0 to 5 degrees to equatorial plane of the tire. In addition to nylon 6.6 and aramid/nylon 6.6 hybrid cords, there are also some polyester (polyethylene terephthalate, PET) applications as cap ply. But due to high initial modulus of PET, there is a risk of tight cord formation after lifting which means contact with steel cords of the top belt layer leading to cord breaks under dynamic conditions.
Nylon cords have excellent fatigue resistance under bending and axial compression, and bielastic tensile characteristic enabling easy processing during tire building. Additionally, shrink force generation with increasing service temperature under high speed conditions improves belt edge separation resistance and high speed durability. But low glass transition temperature of nylon causes flatspot problems in tire during parking after high speed driving. Other potential drawback of multilayer nylon cap ply assembly is its high rubber gauge which cause to increase the rolling resistance of the tire by hysteresis (heat build up).
As mentioned above, the hybrid cords comprising high and low modulus yarns having bi-elastic tensile behaviour are also used as cap ply in high speed tires. The low modulus component of hybrid cord enables easy belt package lifting without tight cord formation due to its high extensibility and the high modulus component becomes effective in service conditions. By using hybrid cords as cap ply, the total thickness of the cap ply layer and rubber content can be reduced, and the high modulus component of the hybrid cord enhances the restraining force and improves the high speed durability. But existence of nylon causes also some flatspot. As cap ply, hybrid cord containing aramid is an expensive solution.
On the other hand, cap ply cords made of ultra high modulus yarns having high twist have been also used as tire reinforcement to eliminate flatspot and improve high speed performance, but high level of cord twist results in drastic modulus and breaking strength (tenacity) losses.
US Patent No. 6,799,618 describes a textile cap ply structure which is superimposed radially outwardly to the belt assembly is reinforced with cords being made of materials including nylon and aramid. At initial elongation of the cords, the primary load bearing yarns are nylon yarns, and after appreciable elongation the primary load bearing yarns are the aramid yarns.
US Patent No. 7,584,774 describes a belt reinforcing layer (cap ply) disposed outside the belt in the radial direction, characterized in that the belt reinforcing layer is formed by continuously and spirally winding a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) cord in a circumferential direction of the tire, and this cord has an elastic modulus of not less than 2.5mN/dtex.% under a load of 29.4N measured at 160°C. Due to high initial modulus of the PET cord, lifting must be less than 2% in this applications to prevent excessive tight cord formations.
US Patent No. 2013/0025758 describes a high performance pneumatic radial tire for passenger cars which uses a hybrid cord composed of two ply aramid yarn and single ply nylon yarn having different twist counts for the first twist and different twist counts for the second twist, as a cap ply, and thereby has improved high speed durability and steering stability.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention provides a two or more ply polyester cord reinforcement having bi- elastic tensile properties. Namely, low initial modulus and high modulus after initial elongation. In order to prevent modulus and breaking strength loss, high level of cord twisting has been avoided.
The production principle of the transformation of more or less linear tensile behaviour of the polyester cord to bielastic characteristic (initial modulus reduction and enhancing initial extensibility with low forces) is based on the intermittent thermal relaxation of the polyester cord along its axis. That means, the polyester cord according to the invention comprises high and low modulus parts alternately along its axis. Such a polyester cord containing intermittent zones (parts) with two different properties shows bi-elastic behaviour.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
PET with its high modulus and low thermal shrinkage is a dimensionally stable material. In twisted form as two or three-ply cord, it can be used as carcass and cap ply reinforcement in radial passenger and light truck tires.
The cord twisting improves bending and compression fatigue resistance of the PET, but at the same time reduces the modulus and strength too.
Current tire process technology for radial passenger, SUV and light truck tires requires bi-elastic cap ply for zero degree belt reinforcement applications.
In zero degree cap ply applications in pneumatic radial tires, the high modulus is needed for restraining force to prevent belt edge separations under high speed conditions, but initial extensibility with low forces (initial low modulus) is also needed for processability during lifting of belt package in tire building and curing processes to avoid cord cuttings through the belt skim compound.
Nylon and aramid/nylon hybrid cords fulfill bi-elasticity requirement which is needed due to high lifting ratios during tire building process.
As well known aramid/nylon hybrid cords are expensive and their transition points from low modulus to high modulus should conform with lifting process parameters. Otherwise the hybrid cords may cause tight or loose cords in cap ply.
Two or three-ply nylon 6.6 cords are well known reinforcements as cap ply in radial passenger car and light truck tires, but flatspot and low level of modulus are their major drawbacks.
The PET and all other polymeric cords which are used as tire reinforcement have a given physical properties along the cord. Namely, those cords have uniform and constant property distribution along its length (Figure- 1).
According to the present invention, two or more ply polyester cords without any low modulus component ply like nylon, can be produced with bielastic tensile properties. Such a novel bi-elastic polyester cords can be used as as zero degree cap ply in radial tires to improve high speed durability and do not show any significant flatspotting.
According to invention, the basic production principle of the bielastic polyester cord is to relax the intermittent parts of the cord at high temperature while maintaining the original high modulus of some other parts (Figure-2). The relaxed parts of the polyester cord become more extensible under a given force, and the rest of the cord maintaining the original high modulus keeps its low extensibility.
According to invention, , such a cord comprising alternately repeated low and high modulus zones along its length (axis), elongates initially more than the original non- relaxed high modulus cord upon subjecting to a load.
In order to obtain a bielastic tensile characteristics, the already hot-stretched (pre- hot stretched) polyester cord is exposed to high temperature intermittently under a tension which is lower than the thermal shrinkforce at that temperature which leads to partial relaxation at the zones exposed to high temperature.
The tensile bi-elasticity characteristic of the polyester cord can be changed with the degree of relaxation and the percentage of the relaxed part (length) compared to the non-relaxed part.
The 3% TASE values are measured in accordance with ASTM D885-16 and this value for high modulus zone is higher than 2.0cN/dtex.
The ratio of high 3% LASE/low 3% LASE is less than 0.70 and higher than 0.30. If this ratio is higher than 0.70, sufficient bi-elasticity can not be obtained and processability during tire building and curing becomes difficult. If this ratio is lower than 0.30, very high relaxations might be necessary which may lead to cord strength loss (tenacity drop).
According to invention, the number of high 3% TASE parts is at least 25 and maximum lOOzones/meter cord, and the number of low 3% TASE parts is also at least 25 and maximum lOOzones/meter cord.
According to invention, the length of high 3% TASE zone is at least 5 and maximum 20 mm, and the length of low 3% TASE zone is also at least 5 and maximum 20 mm. The lengths of high and low TASE zones can be equal or different.
According to invention, the twist factor of the cord is higher than 10,000 and less than 20,000 which is determined based on the following formula; Twist factor = cord twist(tpm)x square root of total nominal cord dtex (1)
The cords with lower than 10,000 twist factor have insufficient fatigue resistance under bending and the cords with higher than 20,000 twist factor have significant modulus reductions.
According to invention, the total nominal cord linear density is higher than 500 dtex and less than 8,000 dtex.
The cords having less than 500 dtex are not effective enough, and the cords having higher than 8,000 dtex are too thick.
The preferable polyester polymer types are polyethylene terephthlate and polyethylene naphthlate.
