Premium Grade – In applications where fabric weave impression is undesirable, or where sticky and gummy materials are being conveyed, premium grade TFE-Glass Fabric provides optimum results.
Standard Grade – Most belts are constructed of standard grade TFE-Glass Fabric, due to its combination of high performance and moderate price.
Mechanical Grade & Economy Grade – Preferred in situations where economy is more important than maximum resistance to chemicals and solvents.
Crease & Tear Resistant – Preferred in high-speed applications where high flexibility is required.
SRC-Glass – Preferred when high flexibility and a high slip coefficient are required.
Designed for a wide range of applications, TFE-Glass Fabric is available in four grades to match specific performance requirements. TFE-Glass exhibits the following high-performance characteristics:
- Non-stick surface
- Temperature resistance from -100°F – +500°F (-73°C – +260°C)
- Chemically inert
- High tensile strength
Premium-Grade TFE-Glass Fabric – Featuring an extra heavy coating of PTFE, Premium-Grade Fabric delivers a super-smooth surface perfect for advanced applications, including:
- Release sheets for cooking and baking applications
- Laminate separator sheets
- Specialized heat sealing
- Demanding, non-stick applications
Standard-Grade TFE-Glass Fabric – With a smooth surface and superb non-stick properties, Standard-Grade Fabric serves the widest range of applications, including:
- Release sheets on heat-sealing machines and laminate presses
- Non-stick surfaces for paints, adhesives and food products
- Gaskets, seals and bearings for chemicals, oils and gases
- Thermal insulation for high-temperature and chemical-resistant applications
- Covers for hot plates platens, chutes, hoppers, troughs and rolls
Mechanical-Grad TFE-Glass Fabric – Designed to deliver resistance to high temperatures and chemicals, Mechanical-Grade Fabric utilizes a medium coating of PTFE. Typical applications include chemical-resistant laboratory aprons and protective curtains, such as:
- Bottle washers and paint spraying curtains
- Food packaging
- Acid protection
Economy-Grade TFE-Glass Fabric – Providing a light coat of PTFE, Economy-Grade Fabrics are designed for large volume applications which require cost-efficiency, yet still need high performance. Typical uses include:
- Leaders for processing paper plastics, metallic foils and cloth
- Separator sheets for processing uncured rubber
- The manufacture of abrasive wheels
Crease & Tear Resistant TFE-Glass Fabric – Provides an unusually flexible material for use in applications where high tear-strength and good flex-life are demanded.
Fabric Thickness – For most conveying applications, 0.010″ – 0.014″ belts are preferred. Lighter and thinner (0.003″ – 0.006″) belts are widely employed in heat sealing applications requiring superior flexibility and heat transfer properties, particularly in 2-ply applications. Heavier and thicker (0.015″ – 0.042″) belts are used in applications requiring high strength and load carrying capabilities.
Splice Information – MIPR Corp belting can be ordered with a variety of splices. Metallic, non-metallic, endless and open splices are all available depending on your requirements. MIPR Corp can help you determine which splice will suit your application best.
Metallic Splices – Durable & flexible. Belts utilizing these splices can be installed without taking machinery apart. A cover flap can be added to a mechanical splice to reduce mark-off and heat transfer to your material. Available in alligator and clipper splice.
Non-Metallic Spices
- Fabric notched Splice: Highly flexible and easy to install. Ideal when metal lacing can not be used.
- Smartloop Splice: Durable Kevlar® loops are sewn & sealed to mesh belt – airflow at splice area is less restricted
- Peek Splice: High temperature, plastic spiral lacing is easy to install and allows for airflow throughout the splice area
Endless Splices
- Butt Splice: Ends are butted together and reinforced with a durable backing strip providing a smooth working surface.
- Overlap Splice: Ends are cut straight or diagonally, overlapped and heat-sealed providing a very durable seam
- Scarfed Splice: Ends of belt are tapered first to minimize the thickness at the splice area, then overlapped and heat-sealed
- Splices are heat-sealed at MIPR Corp facility or prepared for heat-sealing for installation at your facility
Heavy Weight Belting – MIPR Corp’s heavy weight belting is typically used for the manufacture of carpet tiles, carpet mats, vinyl flooring, anti-fatigue mats, rubber extrusions and transporting of heavy weight materials through heated oven chambers.
Operating Recommendations
- Maximum continuous temperature: 500°F
- Maximum intermittent temperature: 600°F
- Minimum drive pulley diameter: 8″
- Minimum idler pulley diameter: 4″
Porous Belting – PTFE Coated Porous belting materials are used in conveying applications where maximum airflow and strength are critical to drying, curing and/or bonding inks, pigments and powders to fabrics and non-woven materials.
Operating Recommendations
- Minimum drive pulley diameter: 6″
- Minimum idler pulley diameter: 3″
