Method for producing an endless belt with a belt body

A method for producing an endless belt having a belt body having a first main surface and a second main surface, wherein the first main surface and the second main surface of the belt body are connected to one another via lateral edges, wherein a coating is applied to the first main surface of the belt body being opposite to an inner side of the endless belt in a finished state of the endless belt, wherein the coating forms an outer side of the endless belt in a finished state, the method comprising:

• applying a matrix as the coating to the first main surface of the belt body, the matrix consisting of at least one base material with hard particles of at least one material with a hardness measured according to Vickers of between 1400 [HV] and 10060 [HV] being embedded and/or having been embedded into the base material, wherein the coating is preferably applied directly to the first main surface of the belt body, and wherein the base material is applied in a liquid in viscous form with a dynamic viscosity of 102-105mPas together with the hard particles, to the first main surface of the belt body and is distributed uniformly on the first main surface of the belt body by means of a doctor blade.
