Abstract
Two-ply belting having improved dimensional stability flexing characteristics and elongation characteristics is disclosed. The belting comprises a first synthetic fabric proximate to the friction rubber surface of said belting and a second synthetic fabric distal to the friction rubber surface. The modulus and flex fatique life of the first synthetic fabric is greater than the modulus and flex fatique life of the second synthetic fabric. Belting with accordance with this invention is useful in agricultural applications.

Two-ply belting material comprising:
- a first high coefficient of friction outer rubber skim;
- a first ply comprising a first synthetic fabric bonded to said first outer rubber skim;
- an inner rubber skim bonded to the said first ply opposite said first outer rubber skim;
- a second ply comprising a second synthetic fabric bonded to said inner rubber skim;
- said first ply having a greater flex fatigue life and modulus of elongation than said second ply and second ply having a greater load bearing capacity than said first ply;
- and
- a second outer rubber skim bonded to said second ply.
Two-ply hay baler belting comprising:
- a first ply comprising a first synthetic fabric;
- a second ply comprising a second synthetic fabric, said second synthetic fabric having a flex fatigue life and modulus of elongation less than the flex fatigue life and modulus of elongation of said first synthetic fabric and second ply having a greater load bearing capacity than said first ply;
- a first outer rubber skim having a high coefficient of friction outer surface, bonded to said first ply;
- a second outer rubber skim having a thickness of from about 20 to 200 thousandths of an inch bonded to said second ply;
- and
- an inner rubber skim interposed between said first and second plys having a thickness of at least twice the thickness of said second outer rubber skim.
Two ply belting for a hay baler comprising:
- a first ply comprising a synthetic fabric comprising polyamide warp and polyester weft yarns;
- a second ply comprising a synthetic fabric comprising polyester weft and warp yarns said first ply having a greater flex fatique life and modulus of elongation that in said second ply and said second ply having greater load bearing capacity than said first ply;
- an inner rubber skim interposed between and bonded to said first and second plys;
- a first outer rubber skim having a high coefficient of friction outer surface bonded to said first ply;
- and
- a second outer rubber skim bonded to said second ply.
