20130011184 | SPLICE FOR JOINTING STEEL CORD STRIPS ENCASED IN THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL - A splice is described for jointing thermoplastic strips that comprise steel cords. In the splice a splice polymer is used that is a mixture of a co-polymer and a base polymer, wherein the co-polymer is a grafted co-polymer, a block co-polymer or a random co-polymer functionalised for enabling adhesion to the steel cords.
