Profiles & belts: Robust material solutions for your application needs

Our extensive range of thermoplastic polyurethanes, PU elastomers and TPU Films contains dedicated options for the production of profiles, elevator belts and timing belts. But every application is slightly different, so we work with you to identify the materials best suited to your specific challenge.

Profiles, elevator belts and timing belts all need to be made from mechanically strong, flexible materials that can withstand grease, oil and wear and tear. In the case of timing belts, a robust solution is achieved by embedding metal cords in a cast polyurethane body, which is also highly elastic, tough and shock absorbent. Notably, cast polyurethanes can maintain flexibility over a significant temperature range (-30°C to 80°C with short term to 120°C). Desmodur®, Baytec®, Platilon® TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) films and Desmopan® are all materials that can contribute to creating a unique solution. The latter is a thermoplastic polyurethane particularly well-suited to manufacturing profiles and for coating steel-core elevator belts due to its high load-bearing strength and consistent dimensional stability.

Why our elastomers are ideal for precision timing belts

Baytec® solid PU elastomers offer consistent dimensional stability and, thanks to their relatively hard cast polyurethanes, they maintain good flexibility without the use of a plasticizer. This equates to a stiffer overall system versus using a rubber belt such as neoprene. Our elastomers also do not harden and degrade with age to the degree that neoprene does. Furthermore, cast polyurethanes have unsurpassed abrasion resistance versus other plastics. They do not abrade particles that can contaminate critical components in your machinery, your product or your environment.

Innovative TPU Films for conveyor belt solutions

Our Platilon® TPU films offer versatile solutions for conveyor belt production, catering to both food and non-food industries. With thicknesses up to 1000 microns, these films enable heavy-duty applications and noise reduction. Renowned for their excellent flexibility and durability, TPU films are uniquely suited for various industrial sectors, ensuring reliable transportation. They boast high resistance to wear, tear, and abrasive materials, prolonging the lifespan of conveyor systems. Moreover, these films are ideal for hygienic transportation of food products. Through precise lamination, TPU films seamlessly integrate with conveyor belts, minimizing wear and tear while maximizing efficiency. 

Key Benefts

  • Strong: High mechanical strength and dynamic load-bearing capacity.
  • Ultra-tough: High resistance to abrasion, impact, hydrolysis, and chemicals.
  • Flexible: Offer great flexibility with high tensile strength.
  • Ease of use: The right materials simplify casting, injection molding or extrusion, or lamination.
  • Long lasting: Freedom from corrosion means longer servicing intervals.
