Open Mesh Belting
PTFE/Glass, PTFE/Kevlar®, Kevlar®/Glass
These materials allow for outgassing of volatile products and promote drying by allowing airflow through the belt.
Fabric Grades:
- Porous/Open Mesh - These belts are ideal for drying, curing and bonding inks, pigments and powders to fabrics and non-woven materials.
- Anti-Static/Conductive - Specially treated fabric reduces static build-up.
