Abstract
This invention relates to rubber reinforcing material with reduced weight, a method for preparing the same, and a tire including the same. According to this invention, there is provided a rubber reinforcing material that has a thin thickness and light weight, and yet has excellent durability. The reinforcing material not only reduces the weight of a tire, but also enables realization of improved rolling resistance.

A rubber reinforcing material comprising:
- a fiber base;
- an adhesive layer placed on the fiber base;
- and
- a rubber compound layer placed on the adhesive layer,
- wherein the fiber base is a fabric woven with warp yarns and weft yarns,
- the warp yarn is a single-ply yarn with fineness of 420 denier to 800 denier, and is included in the fabric at a warp yarn density of 55/inch to 65/inch, and
- the weft yarn has dry heat shrinkage of −0.50% to +0.50% according to the standard test method of ASTM D 885 (177° C., 2 minutes, load of 0.05 g/de),
- wherein the weft yarn is a single-ply yarn with fineness of 420 denier to 800 denier, and is included in the fabric at the weft yarn density of 0.05/mm to 5/mm,
- wherein the rubber reinforcing material has a maximum load of 1.0 kgf to 1.2 kgf and tensile strain of 11% to 13% in the tensile test under 150° C. for a specimen sized 25 cm of weft yarn direction length and 1 cm wide.
