Taconic manufactures PTFE and silicone coated fiberglass belts that offer exceptional release properties, outstanding flexibility and superior temperature resistance. By designing and delivering the best belts possible, our customers can achieve both high performance and maximum value.

Choosing the Right Belting Material
Key factors to consider:

• Temperature Range – Our PTFE and silicone rubber coated belts can withstand continuous temperatures of -100 °F to 500 °F (-73 °C to 260 °C)
• 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
• Release Qualities – The surface finishes of our belts range from a rough, semi-porous finish to a super smooth surface
• Strength – Options to be considered are breaking, tensile and tear strength, how heavy of a load the belt carries, its speed and tension
