Extreme Weather and Heat-Resistant Reinforcement for Conveyor Belts

North American Calendering’s Skimmed EPDM Breaker Fabric is purpose-built for conveyor belt applications exposed to intense outdoor environments, thermal cycling, and chemical exposure. Utilizing a durable woven fabric coated with a premium EPDM rubber skim, this breaker fabric delivers outstanding resistance to UV radiation, ozone, high temperatures, and moisture. It strengthens splices and belt constructions while maintaining flexibility and integrity in the harshest conditions.

Key Features:

• Outstanding UV and Ozone Resistance — Protects against degradation from prolonged sun and weather exposure.

• High Heat Stability — Maintains strength and bonding performance at elevated operating temperatures.

• Superior Moisture Resistance — Shields belt splices from water intrusion and swelling.

• Enhanced Adhesion Layer — Skimmed with EPDM rubber to ensure strong bonding with tie gums and belt layers.

• Flexible Yet Strong — Reinforces splices without sacrificing the flexibility required for belt operation.

• Custom Fabric Weaves and Skim Thicknesses Available — Designed to meet specific belt tension, width, and durability needs.

Applications:

• Open-pit mining conveyor systems are exposed to direct sunlight

• Aggregate and cement plant belts under outdoor conditions

• Power generation, ash handling, and bulk material belts

• Agricultural conveyors facing heat and moisture cycles

• Outdoor industrial belts in corrosive or coastal environments
