reinforced by organic reinforcement cords or filaments. In one embodiment,
organic monofilaments are used in the belt or breaker plies which have the
following characteristics: at least 2,000 denier (2,200 dTex), a tenacity
of at least 3.5 g/denier (31 cN/Tex), an initial modulus of at least 30
g/denier (265 cN/Tex) and a shrinkage of at most 6%.
