conveyor belting
products.
SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR
SYNTHETIC FABRICS
We apply a special adhesive treatment to
most synthetic fabrics. This increases
adhesion by 50%, so covers and plies resist
separation far better than they would in an
untreated belt. This improves service life
and increases overall cost effectiveness.
(Letter “T” in fabric name designates such
treatment, as in APT35 or PNT50.)
POLYESTERS (AP, APT)
These polyester belts are the most
dimensionally stable for wet service.
Polyesters won’t shrink, stretch, rot or
mildew when exposed to moisture, which
makes them especially effective where
wetness is a problem. Strong and tough,
these polyester belts will hold mechanical
fasteners particularly well.
POLYESTER-NYLON (PN, PNT)
Polyester warp members running
longitudinally give this fabric low elongation
for minimum stretch. Resilient nylon filler
members run transversely to hold fasteners
tightly, especially where shock is involved.
PN’s perform well under frequent stop-and-go
conditions or where products may jam.
SPECIAL COTTON-POLYESTER
BLENDS (SCP)
A 50-50 blend, SCP’s are 40-50% stronger
than cotton belts and more dimensionally
stable. They won’t stretch or shrink in the
presence of moisture like cotton or cotton-
nylon belts and have little or no camber.
These fabrics have more bulk than straight
polyesters for customers who prefer a
heavier feel. SCP’s can be used without
a cover for a lower coefficient of friction.
POLYESTER-COTTON BLENDS (PCB)
A heavy-duty version of the SCP, better
suited for heavier, textured surfaces;
50-50 blends of polyester and cotton run
both longitudinally and transversely.
PC’s are stronger and tougher than cotton
and cotton-nylon fabrics. They also hold
fasteners better.
NYLOCK
®
Designed exclusively by HBD/Thermoid,
Nylock belting has a tough, interwoven
single-ply polyester body, 20% lighter in
relation to its strength than equally-rated
fabrics. Polyester tension filaments are
interlocked with 100% staple polyester
fillers, then these are fully protected with
100% staple polyester face and back warps.
Nylock belting has excellent resistance to
impact, 6
¹⁄₂
times more resistance to tear
than belting with ordinary fabrics. It works
well in the most demanding applications.
