The data are based on laboratory tests and practical experience and apply to
standard -20°C and 65 % relative humidity- ambient conditions. Substantial
deviations from the standard ambient conditions may cause changes in the
chemical resistance of theindividual coatings, e.g. interaction of moisture
and heat. Please enquire. We recommend testing chemical resist- ance
under your operating conditions using the actual media in contact with the belt.
We will be pleased to supply appropriate samples on request
General Use PVC is oil and grease resistant.
FDA PVC has full FDA approval for use in hangling
food and related products.
Hard PVC is abrasion resistance with high mechani-
cal strength partıculary suitable for agriculture and
general aplications, espacially where the application
causes high abrasion.
