Polyurethane belts are mainly used in the Food Industry. Due to its structure, polyurethane belts do not give off damaging toxins or chemicals. Polyurethanes for process and conveyor belting can be either thermoplastic – TPU, or thermoset – PUR. Thermoplastic polyurethane coating material excels through its exceptional resistance to grease, oils and chemicals.
Main polyurethane coating types:
Ropanyl (TPU)
Ropanol (PUR)
Ropan (PUR)

Polyolefins are the largest group of thermoplastics; they are polymers of simple olefins such as ethylene. Polyethylene is probably the polymer you see most in daily life; it is the most popular plastic in the world.

Fabric and Felt belts are used in a wide variety of material transport applications such as car manufacturing, food processing and heavy industry. Felt is a non-woven fabric. The most important raw material for belting fabrics is polyester.

By mixing polymers together, Ammeraal Beltech produces variations on PVC or PU called “Special Blends”. E.g.:
Pletex (red): a special thermoplastic low hardness polyblend for high grip applications
Elastoflex: a rubber / PVC compound which combines the excellent mechanical properties of PVC with the wear resistant characteristics of rubber
Elastonyl: a rubber / TPU compound which combines the excellent mechanical properties of TPU with the wear resistant characteristics of rubber
Ultraclean: a special compound of TPU with a high tech polymer with superior release properties
