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 resistance

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.
