Get a lower cost-per-ton conveyed. Tension Range: 220 to 1800 PIW

Features & Benefits

	Excellent fastener holding retention High strength fill cords enhance mechanical fastener holding ability and resist fastener pull-out for reliable performance and increased uptime.
	Excellent rip, tear and impact resistance Specially designed crimped warp cords straighten on impact and then recover their original shape. This enables the fabric to absorb greater impact loads and resist tearing for long-lasting durability and a lower cost-per-ton conveyed.
	High ultimate strength Plylon Plus® withstands severe tension spikes at start up, retains mechanical fasteners and withstands continuous flexing around pulleys. This higher ultimate strength makes a critical difference in abusive operating conditions.
	Reduced stretch The combination of fabric design and dip process provides lower elasticity and permanent elongation on all specifications. This minimizes take-up concerns and reduces the number of splices at break-in. Contact your local Sales Representative to calculate permanent and elastic elongation requirements for your specific systems.
	Standard bias step splices A quick and effective technique, step splices greatly reduce downtime and are recognized throughout the industry as the standard. The vulcanized splice in Plylon Plus® retains 100% of belt tension rating during all running conditions.
	Variety of cover compounds and cover gauges Protect your product with the proper compound and cover gauge for the application. Plylon Plus® has the flexibility to customize a belt to your application.
	Variety of fabric carcasses Choose from a selection of carcasses that provide outstanding strength, adhesion, impact absorption and other properties. These include fabric carcasses from 220 to 1800 PIW.

Plylon Plus® rated belt tension can exceed 100%, with a maximum of 150%, during starting and stopping conditions. Fastener size recommendation may vary due to cover thickness, pulley diameters and system tension. Consult your Sales Representative or fastener manufacturer. R-6 fasteners must be installed with stainless steel rivets when belt tensions exceed 800 PIW (140 kN/m) for best results.
*P/P = Poly/Poly and P/N = Poly/Nylon
**Average permanent elongation values at 100% of rated belt tension are based on ISO 9856 test procedure. Consult your Sales Representative or Distributor for elastic and total elongation calculations.
***Consult your Sales Representative for vulcanized splice design for 900/2, 1350/3 and 1800/4 constructions.
