Detailed Product Description

 The carcass is made of a textile fabric which is designed to the requirements regarding belt elongation, flexibility for troughing, fastener holding retention and resistance to impact and edge damage.

The warp in the fabric is either in polyester (for a low elongation belt), or in polyamide (for special impact resistance). The weft is mainly polyamide to ensure throughing flexibility. Cotton ply warp yarn is added on top and bottom of the fabric to protect the carcass against impact and potential cuts or damage. This textile fabric is then impregnated with PVC paste, which makes it compact, fire resistant and totally impervious to moisture or other degradation, while retaining its mechanical properties.
