 The DuraFab®
Tear Resistant belts are specially processed to increase their
overall flexibility and tear resistance, thus making them the
strongest, most durable line of PTFE coated fiberglass belting.
These fabrics are manufactured from woven fiberglass substrates,
leave a minimal fabric impression, possess an optimal PTFE (Fluon®)
content, and have a proprietary additive for flexibility. DuraFab®
Tear Resistant Belting has excellent flexibility and is ideal
for use in small pulley and high-speed packaging applications.

DuraFab® Belts are engineered to retain the distinctive properties
of PTFE; however, by adding a glass fabric to the matrix, AFC
is able to obtain the added benefits of dimensional stability,
excellent tensile strength and extremely low elongation (<1%).
DuraFab® Belts have received USDA approval for food processing
and handling, and are FDA compliant (21 CFR177.1550). In addition,
the DuraFab® belts can operate in temperatures from -400°F
(-240°C) under static conditions and -100°F (-73°C)
under dynamic conditions up to 550°F (288°C).
