The invention relates to an article including an elastic main body on the basis of a vulcanized rubber () having an article surface that is susceptible to wear, which is provided with a textile layer. The textile layer, particularly a woven fabric () or knitted fabric, has a mesh design that allows the vulcanized rubber () to penetrate to the textile surface to form a textile-vulcanized rubber hybrid system (), wherein the vulcanized rubber portion on the textile surface can be controlled by means of the stitch number, stitch width and the thread design of the textile layer. The article is in particular a drive belt and in connection with the primary intended use, a method for making a drive belt is provided.

Article, particularly drive belt, having a textile layer and method for producing a drive belt

An article comprises an elastic main body on the basis of at least one thermoplastic elastomer or on the basis of a vulcanizate, with an article surface that is provided with a textile covering, wherein the textile covering is a plated knit fabric. The article is, in particular, a drive belt, preferably a V-ribbed belt.

Article, in particular drive belt, comprising a textile covering

The invention relates to a frictionally engaged driving belt having a base body () and a cover layer () that consists of rubber or a rubber-like synthetic material which is provided with a tractive support layer () that is embedded into the rubber or the rubber-like synthetic material. The aim of the invention is to prevent or reduce the generation of noise in drives of the belts. Only the surface or a portion of the surface, preferably the motion-transferring part of the surface, pertaining to the driving belt is provided with a flocking material consisting of short aramide fibers (). A portion of said aramide fibers () is integrated into the surface only with a partial length of each individual fiber.
