Uscothane

Uscothane is a high performance cast urethane elastomeric material which is tougher and more durable than most rubbers and plastics. It combines the product attributes of both metal and rubber, for a belt that possesses ultimate strength, with the elasticity of rubber.

Where other belts fail, Uscothane is the problem solver! It withstands the most hostile environments and service conditions.

APPLICATION

glass, canter belts, saw mill belts, log handling, scrap metal, foundry castings, heavy sharp rocks, wood chip slinger belts, magnetic separator, fabric and metal stamping, aluminum and steel coil wrapper

FEATURES

• Abrasion Resistance: Uscothane demonstrates superiority to other elastomers in resistance to wear under most conditions.

• Rip, Tear, Gouge and Cut Resistance: Uscothane offers tear resistance far superior to rubber.

• Temperature Resistance: Uscothane retains a degree of flexibility at -20°F (-29°C), although gradual stiffening will begin at 32°F (0°C). Continuous use at 180°F (82°C) is not recommended.

• Coefficient of Friction: Uscothane can be supplied with various durable fabric sliderbacks to reduce coefficient of friction for slider bed conveyor systems.

• Flex Properties: Uscothane resists cracking under repeated flexure. Once nicked, or cut, it shows excellent resistance to cut growth.

• Cover Adhesion: Uscothane is cast as a liquid onto the UsFlex fabric.  It penetrates the spaces in the fabric weave prior to curing, and is locked into place when cured.  This process results in very high product integrity.

• Environmental Properties: Uscothane withstands the most hostile environments while still maintaining its physical properties. Uscothane resists damaging elements such as oil and grease, chemicals, moisture and water immersion, mold, mildew and fungus, oxygen and ozone, gamma ray radiation, ultraviolet light, wide temperature range.

Metallica

A family of unique steel cord fabric belts with high elongation steel weft cords (impact weft) designed for conveyor applications where you require the strength and low stretch of steel cord belting, but are unwilling to sacrifice the impact and rip resistance of heavy duty textile belting.  Metallica IW gives you the qualities of both belts in one package.

Metallica IW-R, with regular (low) elongation steel warp cords, is designed for applications currently using conventional steel cord belting.  Metallica IW-E, with high elongation steel warp cords, replaces textile belts.

In both cases, Scandura's experience and expertise in conveyor belt manufacturing turn these hi-tech steel cord fabrics into Metallica IW belting with hybrid properties now available to you, the belt user.

APPLICATIONS

Power Plants, Mines, Quarries, Cement Plants, Steel Mines, Port Facilities

FEATURES
