Elastomer product

Abstract

The invention relates to an elastomer product having at least one strength member ply embedded into a vulcanizable rubber compound, where the strength member ply is formed from a multitude of steel cords that each consist of at least two helically twisted filaments or at least two strands formed from two or more mutually helically twisted filaments, and the cords have an elongation at break of at least 5% and an elongation under a tensile stress of 100 N of at least 3.5%, and the vulcanizable rubber compound, as well as natural rubber and/or synthetic rubber, contains sulfur and/or sulfur donors and accelerators, and the elongation of the cords after complete vulcanization of the rubber compound under a tensile stress of 100 N is reduced by at least 10% compared to the state prior to the vulcanization.
