Rough Green Round Belting and Belts

Dura-Belt rough green round urethane belts are made from 88A durometer urethane cord. The hard, rough surface is texturized to provide a lower coefficient of friction (0.4) so that belts can slip a little in pulleys without overheating and abrading. Rough green round belting is also ideal for use on slider beds or where accumulation occurs. Rough green urethane cord is often used in paper moving, printing, and postal applications because the rough surface can catch the edge of a sheet of paper and push it along.

People often think that the rough texturized surface will grip pulleys better and slip less than smooth belts, but surface contact area is what counts with urethane belting. The more surface contact, the greater the coefficient of friction. Therefore, smooth belts will grip better, but if forced to slip, they tend to overheat and stretch or abrade. Rough green belting can help overcome this problem.

  • Rough surface effectively makes belts more abrasive resistant.
  • Not food grade -- rough surfaces are not USDA/FDA approved.
  • Replaces Polycord® belts and belting.
  • Available in either rough or matte surface (slightly less rough).
  • Available in softer 86A durometer for applications where more grip is desirable.
  • Available with polyester cord reinforcement -- for less stretch and more strength.
  • Superior water resistance (hydrolytically stabilized) -- ideal for washdown applications.
