Other Excellent Compounds

1. Flame Resistant Compound

When belts are used in places not easily accessible, it is important that fire risks are eliminated whenever possible.
Bridgestone offers flame-resistant belt depending on customer's operational conditions.

Flame Resistant Test (Example)
  Ignition Removal After 1min.
Flame Resistant Flame Resistant-Ignition Flame Resistant-Removal Flame Resistant-After 1min.
Normal Belt Normal Belt-Ignition Normal Belt-Removal Normal Belt-After 1min.

2. Oil Resistant Compound

Oil contaminated materials cause ordinary rubber covers to swell and peel off. This swelling can cause a complete breakdown of the conveyor system as the swollen belt prevents it from passing over idlers and around pulleys. 3 types of oil resistant belts are available for transporting oil-drenched metal machining chips, oily sheet metal, foodstuff such as bulk beans and culls, and processed meats and fish.

Type Kind of oil Temp Oil adhering to belts
OIL ACE-H Mineral Oil -25°C­60°C
(-13F­140F)		 Heavy oil, Barbolin, Rust preventive oil, Light oil, Neuter oil, Rolling oil, Grease, Machine oil, Drain sewage
OIL ACE-L Animal & Vegetable Oil Palm oil, Lard, Fish oil, Flay oil, Soy bean oil, Sesame oil, Cotton oil, Rice oil, Frying oil, Castor oil
OIL ACE-G Grain Oil Corn oil, Soy bean oil, Uncrushed dried grain like barley

*Note; Use oil resistant belt at normal temperatures. If it is overheated, the life of the belt will significantly decrease

Volume Change by Swelling
