Standard Materials

The coatings used on Synthetic Belts are called polymers and can be made of various materials which have influence on the suitability of the belt in a certain application.
Polymers can be separated into two different groups: thermoplastic or thermoset.

Mainly used compounds for coatings are:

PVC Belts

Polyvinyl chloride, commonly abbreviated to PVC, is a widely produced plastic. PVC is a type of thermoplastic polymer that is flexible and durable, and therefore suitable for use on conveyor systems.

Main PVC coating types:

Product features:

  • Good chemical resistance (including chlorine)
  • Hydrolysis resistance (hot water and steam)
  • Flame-retardant types available (ISO 340)
  • Some food types available (dry food)
  • Economically priced
  • Available in many different hardnesses, profiles and colours

Industries:

  • Airports
  • Logistics
  • Agriculture
  • Fruit and Vegetables

Polyurethane Belts

Polyurethane belts are mainly used in the Food Industry. Due to its structure, polyurethane belts do not give off damaging toxins or chemicals. Polyurethanes for process and conveyor belting can be either thermoplastic – TPU, or thermoset – PUR. Thermoplastic polyurethane coating material excels through its exceptional resistance to grease, oils and chemicals.

Main polyurethane coating types:

Product features:

  • Belts with thermoplastic polyurethane coating
  • Very flexible even at low temperatures
  • Very good resistance to oil and fat
  • Good abrasion resistance
  • Food compliance for all foodstuff
  • Available in many colours, and with profiles
  • Non-fray

Industries:

  • Food
  • Packaging
  • Wood
  • Textile
  • Metal

Polyolefin Belts

Polyolefins are the largest group of thermoplastics; they are polymers of simple olefins such as ethylene. Polyethylene is probably the polymer you see most in daily life; it is the most popular plastic in the world.

  • Flexible at low temperatures
  • Chemically inert material, good chemical resistance
  • Pyrolysis resistance (non-toxic when burning, tobacco approved)
  • Food compliance
  • Easy release properties
  • Wide range of types available, with different profiles
  • Special types available for small pulley transfer points
  • Tobacco
  • Food

Fabric & Felt

Fabric and Felt belts are used in a wide variety of material transport applications such as car manufacturing, food processing and heavy industry. Felt is a non-woven fabric. The most important raw material for belting fabrics is polyester.

  • Cotton (natural)
  • Flax (natural)
  • Polyamide (synthetic)
  • Polyester (synthetic)
