This invention relates to tacky finishes and to the textile materials and articles treated with the tacky finishes. The tacky finishes provide improved processing features for end-use articles that contain such finishes. The tacky finish may be combined with other adhesion promotion finishes in the treatment of textile materials. The textile materials and articles may be used as rubber reinforcing materials, such as automotive tire cap ply, single end tire cord, carcass reinforcement and side wall reinforcement. End-use articles that contain the treated textile materials include rubber-containing materials such as automobile tires, belts, and hoses. This invention also relates to the methods for manufacturing the treated textile materials and articles.

Processes are disclosed for manufacturing a nonwoven sheet material having an impermeable layer on one side and an anti-slip coating on the other side. The process includes carding fibers with a common general orientation and forming a web and bonding the fibers into a nonwoven sheet material. An anti-slip coating is applied onto one surface of the material. A polymer is applied onto the other surface of the nonwoven material. The orientation of the fibers is maintained during the entire process.
