Typical applications are given per manufacturers' catalog listing; some belt products may be suitable for manufacturer-approved applications not listed here.
Elevator belts are typically in a vertical application with additional safety factors for bucket attachments and holes for meshing with drive and tracking components. They frequently have attachments such as buckets or trays designed for specific applications.
This is typically very heavy duty belting for applications in mines and quarries; may include transport of such materials as ore, stone, tailings, gravel, aggregate, etc.
Material and design suited for use at high ambient temperatures or for transfer of high-temperature material. This can include diverse applications such as oven conveyor belting and conveyance of heat-treated parts.
Belting designed for use in factory production lines. This category includes belt designed for specific fabrication applications such as semiconductor chip manufacturing.
Unlisted special application, or indicates custom belt suppliers or belt configurations designed and manufactured for specific customer requests and applications.

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).
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® 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.
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® 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.
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).
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).
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 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).
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).
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.
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.
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.

Many belts specify working load or running tension per inch of width. Many belts can be produced in any width, so this allows for proper width selection.
Search Logic:
User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Flat belts frequently carry a specification of maximum speed in feet per minute or other distance per unit time. This is the maximum speed for which the belt will maintain its strength and capacity specifications.
Search Logic:
User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Minimum pulley size is usually determined by the stiffness of the belt and its ability to go around a pulley without kinking or exceeding its deformation limit.
Search Logic:
All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
