Single End Yarn for Automotive and Industrial Hoses
The challenge for today’s hose manufacturers is to meet the ever-increasing demands of industry and OEMs for higher working pressures, more
flexible handling, excellent dynamic performance, greater durability, and
safer, “greener” products. SKS meets these diverse demands with a wide range
of high-tech yarns for hose reinforcement.

- Available as twisted greige yarn or RFL-dipped yarn for excellent adhesion
Polyvinylalcohol (PVA):
- High breaking tenacity with low elongation and low shrinkage for high dimensional stability
- Bio-degradable
- Linear density range from 1330–2000 dtex (including plied constructions)/li>
- Available as twisted greige yarn or RFL-dipped yarn for excellent adhesion
Rayon:
- Excellent breaking tenacity with low elongation and low shrinkage for high dimensional stability
- Bio-degradable
- Linear density range from 1260–2440 dtex (including plied constructions)
- Available as twisted greige yarn or RFL-dipped yarn for excellent adhesion
Polyester (PET):
- Excellent breaking tenacity with medium elongation and low shrinkage
- High flexibility and handling
- Linear density range from 550–2200 dtex (including plied constructions)
- Available as twisted greige yarn or RFL-dipped yarn for excellent adhesion
Polyamide (PA66):
- Excellent breaking tenacity with medium to high elongation for extended flexibility
- Linear density range from 470–2100 dtex (including plied constructions)
- Available as twisted greige yarn or RFL-dipped yarn for excellent adhesion
All RFL-dipped yarns have excellent properties of adhesion to commonly used rubber compounds, like EPDM, NR, SBR, and CR. Yarns can also be tailored to optimize adhesion to customer-specific rubber compounds.
