Taconic PTFE Fiberglass & Silicone Rubber Coated Belts Taconic manufactures PTFE and silicone rubber coated fiberglass belts that offer exceptional release properties, outstanding flexibility and superior temperature resistance. Our experienced team will assess your application and find the right belting solution that offers high performance and maximum value.
Choosing the Right Belting Material
Key factors to consider:
u Temperature Range
Our PTFE and silicone rubber coated belts can withstand continuous temperatures of -100 °F to 500 °F (-73 °C to 260 °C).
u Pliability
If the material is to track around pulleys that drive the belt, the diameter of the pulley is critical. The smaller the roller, the more flexible the belt must be. Taconic’s thinner materials (0.010" and under) are more pliable than heavier coated fabrics.
u Strength (Tensile/Tear) u Release Qualities
The surface finishes of our belts range from a rough, semi-porous finish to a super smooth surface.
Tensile and tear strength must be suitable for the load weight carried by the belt, its speed and tension.
u Fabric Thickness
For most conveying applications, .010 - .014" belts are preferred. Lighter, thinner belts (.003 .006") are employed in heat sealing applications that require superior flexibility and heat transfer properties, particularly in two-ply applications. Heavier, thicker belts (.015 - .042" are used in high strength/load carrying applications.

Taconic PTFE & Silicone Rubber Coated Fabrics The advantages of PTFE and silicone rubber coatings on fiberglass fabric are as numerous as the applications for which Taconic’s engineered fabrics are suited. PTFE coated fiberglass is lightweight, durable and non-flammable as well as chemical and temperature resistant. It provides a nonstick surface, dimensional stability, weather resistance and is also a good electrical/thermal insulator. Silicone rubber coated fabric offers a tough coated surface with high flex and slip coefficient properties. It is an excellent electrical insulator in harsh environments, offers outstanding release properties as well as chemical and abrasion resistance. Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) fabric offers a non-slip surface and some grades are approved for direct food contact.

Fabric Grades
u Premium
These fabrics have a heavy coating of PTFE to provide the easiest release and the highest chemical resistance and electrical strength. Preferred for applications where fabric weave impression is undesirable and sticky materials are conveyed.
u Mechanical & Economy u Crease & Tear Resistant u Anti-Static/Conductive u Porous/Open Mesh u Standard
Offering a smooth surface and excellent nonstick properties, this grade is the most widely used PTFE-Glass belt.
Light PTFE coating offers economy in applications where increased surface texture is useful. This grade offers substantially higher tear strength for high speed applications. Specially treated fabric reduces static build-up.
These materials allow outgassing of volatile products and promote drying by allowing airflow through the belt. These belts are ideal for drying, curing and bonding inks, pigments and powders to fabrics and non-woven materials.
u Silicone Rubber Coated Fiberglass These belts offer excellent release properties up to 500 ËšF, superior abrasion, flex and chemical resistance and outstanding dielectric properties in demanding environments. Silicone belts are ideal in applications where high flexibility and a high slip coefficient are required. Available coated on one or two sides in red or white.
Fabrication Options Splices Taconic offers metallic, non-metallic, endless and open splices to accommodate your unique requirements.
u Non-Metallic Splices
When metal lacing cannot be used, a fabric notched splice, peek lacing, self loop or smart loop splice offers durability and flexibility. A smart loop splice or peek lacing is recommended when maximum airflow is needed.
Fabric Notched Splice
Peek Lacing
Self Loop Splice
Smart Loop Splice
Alligator Lacing
Clipper Lacing
u Metallic Splices
Alligator and clipper splices are the most durable and easy to use. Belts can be installed without taking machinery apart and a cover-flap can be added to these splices to reduce mark-off and heat transfer to your material.
u Endless Splices
Material ends are butted together and reinforced with a durable backing strip that provides a smooth working surface.
Butt Splice
Material ends are cut straight or diagonally, overlapped and heat sealed, providing a very durable seam.
Overlap Splice
Belt ends are tapered to minimize thickness at the splice area, overlapped and heat sealed.
Scarfed Splice
Edge Reinforcements Taconic belts can be supplied with strips of heat-sealed film or fabric on one or both edges of your belt. This reinforcement serves a dual purpose: it reduces fraying of belt edges which rub on guiding rollers and it also provides the strongest possible anchor for guiding pins, snaps and grommets. Edge reinforcement is standard for belts with pins or grommets and for open mesh belts. After heat sealing, fabric edge strips can also be sewn for additional strength.
u Heat Sealed PTFE Film Edge
PTFE film strips are heat sealed to the top and bottom edges of the belt for a 1/2" or 1" (standard) surface. The PTFE film is available in 3 mil black or clear and 10 mil tan (1" surface only).
u Heat Sealed Fabric Edge
Six mil fabric is heat sealed to the top and bottom edges of the belt for a 1" (standard) or 2" surface. Fabric edges are available either tan or black.
u Fabric Edge, Sewn & Sealed
For extra reinforcement, our 6 mil heat-sealed fabric edge can also be sewn if desired. This reinforcement is commonly used on open mesh belting.
Tracking & Guiding Devices Taconic offers a variety of options to guide belts on your machine. These devices can be placed on one or both edges of your belts.
0.240"
0.200"
0.055" 0.800"
u Grommets
Nickel plated brass grommets are offered in three sizes: .1875" I.D., .3125" I.D. and .375" I.D.
u Guide Snaps
Two-Ply Belts Two plies of PTFE coated fiberglass are laminated together with staggered splices to provide a smooth, continuous thickness along the entire belt length. This guarantees a uniform seal in packaging and heat sealing applications. The belts are typically available in widths of ½" to 3".
u Silicone Rubber Guides
Nickel plated brass snaps are available in .37" diameter and .12" deep.
A silicone rubber guide is also available to assist with accurate tracking.
Taconic offers belts in custom widths to meet your specific requirements. For added flexibility, belting materials are also supplied open ended for customers who require this for installation. Hand-held heat sealing irons are available in two sizes for on-site belt splicing. Please contact customer service for more information.
Ordering Your Taconic Belt Please have the following information available:
u Dimensions of belt (width and length) u Desired splice, edge reinforcement and tracking devices, where needed
u Drive pulley recommendations: Minimum drive pulley diameter is 6" for heavy weight belting and 3" for all other materials
