Abstract

PCA fibre manufactured with copper-containing thermal stabilizers retain initial strength better with prolonged heat treatment. The best results were noted for samples with 2-MeBI + CuCl2 + MgCl2 thermal stabilizer. Fibres containing a Bulgarian thermal stabilizer lose strength more rapidly than the others and to the greatest degree. In treatment at high temperatures (205° C for 16h), all samples lose almost half of the initial strength. The fibres made with the thermal stabilizers 2-MeBI + CuCl2 + MgCl2 have the highest resistance to repeated flexure and the lowest irreversible elongation. As a result of the comprehensive studies of the thermal stabilizers used in production of PCA cord fibres for tires, the thermal stabilizer 2-MeBI + CuCl2 + MgCl2 was found to be the most effective.
