Product Description |
|
 DuraFlow® Kevlar®
Mesh belts are manufactured from woven Kevlar® substrates
that have been coated with PTFE. The DuraFlow® Kevlar®
Mesh series is an excellent choice for heavy-duty applications
or in drying applications where there is steam or moisture. DuraFlow®
Kevlar® Mesh belts are dramatically higher in tensile and
tear strengths. These belts are manufactured from proprietary
woven Kevlar® with openings that range from 1/16”to
1/4.”

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).

*Please note: Additional thickness and
styles available upon special order and lead times may vary for
different styles and widths.
*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.
