Abstract
Disclosed is an industrial belt that can be used in, for example, conveying or forming engineered wood composites or other industrial products. The industrial belt has a seamable base belt with a coating that includes a polymer, an anti-contaminant, and a conductive anti-static component.
Claims20
An industrial belt, comprising:
- a seamable base belt;
- and
- a coating over at least a top surface of the base belt,
- wherein the coating includes a polymer of at least 70% by weight of a thermoplastic polyurethane, at least 0.5% by weight of a siloxane polymer, acting as an anti-contaminant, and a conductive anti-static component;
- and
- wherein the percentage of conductive anti-static component by weight is sufficient to produce a resistivity of 106 ohms/square or less on a surface of the industrial belt.
3 more elements
An industrial belt, comprising:
- a seamable base belt;
- and
- a coating over at least a top surface of the base belt,
- wherein the coating includes a polymer of at least 70% by weight of a thermoplastic polyurethane, 1.25%-2.5% by weight of a siloxane polymer, acting as an anti-contaminant, and a conductive anti-static component.

An industrial belt, comprising:
- a seamable base belt comprising a flat monofilament and a caliper less than 2 mm;
- and
- a coating over at least a top surface of the base belt,
- wherein the coating includes a polymer of at least 70% by weight of a thermoplastic polyurethane, at least 0.5% by weight of a siloxane polymer, acting as an anti-contaminant, and a conductive anti-static component.
