Primary Belt Material
|
|
Flat belts may have a number of materials. This selection concerns the primary or identifying material.
|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Aramid
|
|
Aramid fibers exhibit good impact resistance, toughness, low elongation, and resistance to damage by penetration of powders or silt.
|
| |
Cotton / Canvas
|
|
Any weave of cotton, cotton blends, or heavy-duty canvas.
|
| |
EPDM
|
|
Good resistance to sunlight, weathering and ozone. It has poor resistance to petroleum oils and fuel. Good heat and compression set resistance. Suggested operating temperature (-70° to 275° F). Trade names include Nordel® (Dupont Dow Elastomers), Vistalon® (Exxon Mobil Chemical), Epsyn® (DSM Elastomers), Royalene® (Uniroyal Chemical), and Epcar® (B.F. Goodrich).
|
| |
Hydrin®
|
|
Good gas impermeability and maintains physical properties over a wide temperature while maintaining resistance to petroleum oils. Ozone, oxidation, weathering, and sunlight resistances are other qualities. Suggested operating temperatures (-60° to 300° F). Hydrin® is a registered trademark of Zeon Chemicals L.P.
|
| |
Kevlar®
|
|
Kevlar® is a man-made organic fiber developed by DuPont. The general features of Kevlar are high tensile strength at low weight, structural rigidity and durability, high chemical, flame and cutting resistance, and low electrical conductivity. It is used in many safety and heavy-duty industrial applications.
|
| |
Leather
|
|
The characteristics of leather include flexibility, toughness and resistance to abrasion. It is composed of high-strength interlocking fibers. There are two main advantages to using leather as a sealing material, its ability to absorb and retain lubricants and its effectiveness sealing against rough surfaces.
|
| |
Mylar®
|
|
Mylar® is a polyester film and laminating substrate, designed by DuPont. Its primary characteristics include excellent flexibility, machinability, and puncture resistance while providing a barrier against gas and water vapor. It also retains its form and function within very high or low temperatures. Its uses are extremely varied, from food service; to seals, barriers and personal protection; to heavy-duty industrial application.
|
| |
Neoprene
|
|
A synthetic rubber that resists degradation from sun, ozone, and weather. It performs well in contact with oils and many chemicals. Neoprene remains useful over a wide temperature range, displays outstanding physical toughness, and resists burning inherently better than exclusively hydrocarbon rubbers. Neoprene also offers resistance to damage caused by flexing and twisting. Suggested operating temperature (-45° to 230° F). Trade names include Neoprene (DuPont Dow), Baypren® (Mobay), and Butachlor® (Ditsugil).
|
| |
Nitrile
|
|
Good resistance to petroleum hydrocarbons and fuels. Widely used with most oils, hydraulic fluids, and alcohol. Many compound variations are available for specific applications. Suggested operating temperature (-30° to 275° F). Trade names include Breon® (BP Chemicals), Chemigum® (Goodyear), Hycar® (B F Goodrich), Krynac® (Polysar Ltd.), Nipol® (Zeon Chemicals), Nysyn® NBR, (DSM Elastomers), Paracril® (Uniroyal Chemical), and Perbunan® (Mobay).
|
| |
Nylon
|
|
Nylon, comprising several grades of polyamides, is a general purpose material in wide use; it is tough and resistant and has good pressure ratings.
|
| |
Polyester
|
|
Polyethylene Terephthalate, also called polyester fiber, refers to any one of a large family of synthetic polymers composed of at least 85% by weight of an ester of a substituted aromatic carboxylic acid. General characteristics of this family include high tensile strength; chemical, wrinkle, and abrasion resistance; and ease of drying and washability. Industrial uses include belting, hoses, cords and threads; essentially any application where the fiber must be highly flexible, yet durable.
|
| |
Polyurethane / Urethane
|
|
Polyurethane is a diverse class of materials exhibiting good elongation, recovery and toughness properties. They are flexible and have good abrasion resistance. (NOTE: The urethanes of the plastics industry are so named because the repeating units of their structures resemble the chemical urethane.) Trade names include Texin® (Bayer), Adiprene® and Vibrathane® (Uniroyal Chemical), Estane® (B F Goodrich), Genthane® (General Tire and Rubber), Millathane®, and Pellethane® (Dow Chemical).
|
| |
PVC
|
|
PolyVinyl Chloride is a widely used material that has good flexibility, smooth surface, and nontoxic qualities. Some grades are used in food and chemical processes due to the inert nature of PVC. Brand names include: ACP® and Dural® (Alpha Gary), Geon® (Geon), Benvic® (Solvay), Flexalloy® (Teknor Apex).
|
| |
Rubber
|
|
Natural compounds such as gum rubber (polyisoprene) and latex.
|
| |
Silicone
|
|
Silicones are polymers in which organics groups, such as methyl and phenyl groups are bonded to the silicone atoms in chains of inorganic siloxanes (-Si-O-Si-). Their properties include heat, cold and weather resistance, electrical insulation, release, water repellency and defoaming.
|
| |
Steel Belt
|
|
Includes all grades of carbon, mild, and other non-stainless steels.
|
| |
Steel Belt - Stainless
|
|
Includes all grades of stainless steel belting.
|
| |
Steel Cord
|
|
"Belt" consists primarily of steel cord for high tensile strength; usually contained within a binding matrix.
|
| |
Tape - All Materials
|
|
Very thin section most frequently made of steel or other metal; usually for light-duty tracking and control operations.
|
| |
Teflon®
|
|
Teflon® refers to a class of fluoropolymer resins used for a wide variety of commercial applications. They are highly-resistant to temperature, chemical reaction, corrosion, and stress-cracking. Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers.
|
| |
Wire Mesh or Weave
|
|
Meshed or woven wire can exhibit high temperature stability and material toughness. Gaps or openings in the mesh can be desirable for certain types of food and material processing.
|
| |
Other
|
|
Any unlisted material.
