Product Description |
|
 DuraFab® Premium
Kevlar® belts are manufactured from woven Kevlar® substrates
that have been coated with PTFE (Fluon®). These products
have dramatically higher tensile and tear strengths for heavy
duty belting applications and are more resistant to steam than
fiberglass. DuraFab® Premium Kevlar® belts leave minimal
fabric impressions. They offer flexibility and conformity in
high-speed applications, which require excellent strength to
weight ratio. DuraFab® Premium Kevlar® belts are an excellent
choice in the most demanding environments where extreme strength,
high loading, resistant to steam and long wear life is required.

DuraFab® Premium Kevlar® Belting
Properties |
|
DuraFab® Premium Kevlar® Fabrics are engineered to maintain
their unique flexibility, dimensional stability, dielectric and
tensile strength, and non-stick properties, while performing
under the harshest environmental conditions. AFC’s fabrics
are abrasion, tear, puncture, fire and chemical resistant; they
also maintain their unique properties under pressure and extreme
temperatures: -100° F to 575° F (-73° C to 302°
C). DuraFab® Premium Kevlar® Fabrics have received USDA
and NSF approval for direct food contact and are FDA compliant
(21 CFR177.1550).

*Disclaimer: All figures provided in the above table are based
upon ASTM D 4969-97, the Standard Specification for Polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) Coated Glass Fabric. The above PIW values are based upon
the ASTM D828 test method and are not actual values of AFC’s
materials. The above tensile values are 80% of the figures provided
in Table 6 of specification D579. AFC states that its actual
tensile will be greater than the above material specification
and that actual tensile values will be provided upon request.
Edge Tear values are based upon ASTM D1424 (Elmendorf Tearing
Test) and are average values that can vary. |
