Reinforcing layer for pneumatic vehicle tyres, and for drive belts

Reinforcement layer (13) comprises at least one reinforcing element, which is embedded in elastomeric material. The reinforcing element comprises non-metallic materials, and the cross-sectional height of the reinforcement is less than the cross-sectional width of the reinforcement. The reinforcing element is arranged in the reinforcement layer such that the extending direction of cross-sectional width is approximately parallel to the planar extent of the reinforcement layer. The reinforcing element is a band (9), which contains aramid and number of filaments made of a non-metallic material.

The reinforcing element is arranged in the reinforcement layer such that the extending direction of cross-sectional width is approximately parallel to the planar extent of the reinforcement layer. The reinforcing element is a band (9), which contains aramid and number of filaments arranged parallel to the longitudinal extension direction of the band. The filaments are held together within the band by an adhesion promoter. An independent claim is also included for a pneumatic vehicle tire comprising at least one reinforcement layer.
