Abstract:
Heavy duty conveyor belts (1) having excellent resistance to high temperatures. These conveyor belts (1) can be repeatedly exposed to temperatures of greater than 200° C. or even 250° C. without compromising the strength or reliability of the belt while providing a greatly extended service life. The conveyor belts (1) may also be manufactured in a commercially viable and cost effective manner. The conveyor belts (1) generally include a reinforcement layer (3), a carry cover layer (2) disposed above the reinforcement layer (3), a pulley cover layer (4) disposed beneath the reinforcement layer (3), and the carry cover layer (2) is comprised of a fluoroelastomer. In some aspects, the conveyor belts (1) have a carry cover layer (2) which includes an outer surface layer (6) containing a fluoroelastomer and an inner layer (7) based upon an EPM elastomer or an EPDM elastomer.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a conveyor belt comprising a bottom fabric layer (2) having a lower first surface (26) forming a backside of said conveyor belt and an upper first surface (25), characterised in that said lower first surface (26) is impregnated with an impregnation (1) comprising: a) one or more thermoplastic polyolefins selected from the group consisting of ethene homopolymers, propene homopolymers, ethene/α-olefin copolymers, propene/α-olefin copolymers and terpolymers of ethene with two or more different α-olefins; and b) a thermoplastic polymeric dispersing agent containing repetitive units derived from at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer of a comparatively lipophilic nature and from at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer of a comparatively hydrophilic nature and earring an anionic carboxylate group. Also disclosed is a process for the manufacture of such belts comprising applying the thermoplastic polyolefin(s) and the thermoplastic polymeric dispersing agent as an aqueous dispersion and heating the lower first surface (26) having the dispersion applied thereonto.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a rubber sheet having a thickness of 500 μm or less, wherein a rubber component in a rubber composition to constitute the rubber sheet contains a liquid elastomer having a weight-average molecular weight of from 500 to 100000, and a method for producing a rubber sheet having a thickness of 500 μm or less, which includes a step (A) of forming a film of a rubber composition not containing an organic compound having a boiling point not higher than 150° C., on a substrate sheet at a temperature at which the viscosity of the rubber composition falls within a range of from 10 to 100000 mPa·s. Using the specific liquid elastomer, the present invention provides a rubber sheet having a thickness of 500 μm or less. Not using any special coating apparatus, the present invention provides a method for producing a rubber sheet of a rubber composition not containing an organic compound having a boiling point not higher than 150° C.
Abstract:
A rubber laminate comprises a reinforcing layer and a second rubber layer laminated sequentially on a first rubber layer, at least one outer surface of the first rubber layer and the second rubber layer being covered with an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene layer, wherein the rubber layers covered with the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene layer are formed from a rubber composition comprising from 20 to 40 parts by mass of a softener per 100 parts by mass of a mixed rubber consisting of from 60 to 80% by mass ratio of a diene rubber and 20 to 40% by mass ratio of a ethylene-propylene-diene rubber and/or a butyl rubber.
Abstract:
This present invention relates to a multilayered fabric consisting of several twin layers, whereby each twin layers is constructed from two layers, namely one layer from structurally arranged reinforcement fibres Vo, Vm and Vu such as for example carbon fibres, and one layer from structurally arranged thermoplastic matrix fibres M1 and M2, such as for example PEEK fibres. Several twin layers are connected with binder fibre B. Additionally the invention comprises use of the multilayer fabric as a semi-finished product and for manufacture of composites plus a process for manufacture of composites using a special multilayered fabric with an “Advanced Synchron Weave” zero crimp fabric structure (FIG. 1).
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a treadmill belt with foamed cushion layer and method of making same. In one embodiment, the treadmill belt includes a fabric base layer and a foamed cushion layer foamed on and integral with the fabric base layer. The foamed cushion layer includes a thermoplastic composition and has a Shore A hardness of about 20 to about 80. In one example, the first foamed cushion layer is from about 0.05 inches to about 0.35 inches thick. The thermoplastic composition, prior to being foamed, includes about 1 part to about 5 parts of a foaming agent, e.g., a chemical foaming agent, based on 100 parts thermoplastic material, e.g., polyvinyl chloride. An outer wear layer is securely adhered on the foamed cushion layer to sandwich the foamed cushion layer between the fabric base layer and outer wear layer thereby defining the treadmill belt.
Abstract:
A PTFE/fiberglass composite for use as a conveyor belt comprises a fiberglass fabric having oppositely facing surfaces. The fabric has a structure defining a substantially uniform pattern of openings extending from one to the other of its major surfaces, with the average area of the individual openings being at least about 0.20258 mm2. PTFE films are laminated to the major surfaces of the fabric. The laminated films are interconnected by fluroropolymer ties extending through the fabric openings and are adhered to the major surfaces with a peel strength of between about 5-13 pli. The composite has a thickness of less than about 20 mils and a fiberglass content of less than about 25%.

Abstract:
A cellular foam product is described, wherein the foam includes a polyurethane foam base, having a latex rubber coating on the exterior surface and slightly penetrating the foam interior such that the foam porosity is preferably maintained. The foam has applications in fruit and vegetable sponge drying donuts, the foam allows for uptake of water during fruit drying, while the latex exterior adds to durability. The latex is formulated to include hydrophilic characteristics to aid in water uptake/absorption.
