CONSTRUCTION

Textile reinforcement:

  • warp and weft: 100 % polyamide, circular woven
  • the special weaving design offers a superior adhesion level, flow performance and anti-kink properties compared to an all polyester weave
  • totally embedded in the rubber compound, excellent protected against mechanical damage

Lining and cover:

  • special high grade formulated NBR / PVC compound extruded ”through the weave“ in a unique one step production process
  • special additives in the compound guarantee superior UV and ageing resistance
  • inside: very smooth for minimum friction loss
  • outside: ribbed for good abrasion resistance and protection against contact heat

SPECIAL OPTIONS

  • coating of cover pinholes PROGRESS PLUS LATEX (avoids penetration of harmful liquids into the textile reinforcement)
  • lengths up to 200 m (660 ft)
  • colour according to customer specification
  • cold flexible version PROGRESS PLUS POLAR down to -30°C (-22°F)

Note that special options are subject to a higher price and a minimum order of 1,000 m (3,300 ft) per dimension. Production short lengths and overproduction up to 10 % of the total order quantity have to be accepted. Enquire for details !
