FAQ
Good Evening Everyone...!!!
In this series we shall discuss some FAQ's, which are very general. So let's start the series.
When should I use a PVC belt and when should I use a Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) or a Polyolefine (TPO) belt?
PVC, TPU or TPO?
As a rule of thumb, for low-end applications without special demands PVC-coated belts normally will do the job. On the other hand, more demanding or specific applications can require appropriate product features. As a general recommendation the following can be kept in mind:

As a rule of thumb, for low-end applications without special demands PVC-coated belts normally will do the job. On the other hand, more demanding or specific applications can require appropriate product features. As a general recommendation the following can be kept in mind:
- PVC (Polyvinylchloride)
- Suitable for most low-end applications
- Reasonable price
- Resistant to most chemicals (except solvents, oil)
- Superior abrasion resistance
- TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
- Superior strength for mechanically demanding applications
- Good abrasion resistance
- Good temperature resistance for a wide range of applications
- TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
- Excellent release and antisticking properties
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Excellent low temperature properties
