PTFE & Silicone Rubber Coated
Industrial
Belting
Taconic PTFE coated belting delivers exceptional release, dimensional stability, and consistent performance in high-temperature and high-speed processing environments. These belts provide a nonstick surface, excellent chemical resistance, low friction, and reliable heat transfer.
Taconic silicone coated belting offers superior flexibility, grip, and durability across a wide range of operating conditions. With excellent abrasion resistance, high flex life, and strong release characteristics, silicone belts are well-suited for conveying, processing, and handling applications where control, traction, and long-term performance are critical.
Performance Advantages
Performance built for
what never stops running.
Nonstick Release
PTFE and silicone coated belting surfaces provide reliable release for high-temperature conveying, food processing, heat sealing, and production applications.
Heat Resistance
Engineered belt constructions support consistent performance in demanding environments involving heat, pressure, and continuous operation.
Dimensional Stability
Strong coated fiberglass substrates help belts maintain shape, tracking, and performance during high-speed and high-temperature processing.
Durability
Durable coating systems and reinforced constructions help extend belt life in abrasive, repetitive, and production-driven applications.
Common Applications
Conveying, sealing, drying —
across every shift.
Taconic coated belting solutions are used across industries requiring dependable release, dimensional stability, heat resistance, and consistent conveying performance.
Belt Grades
Match the belt grade
to the job at hand.
Premium
Heavy PTFE coating provides easy release, high chemical resistance and electrical strength.
Standard
Smooth surface with excellent nonstick properties. The most widely used PTFE-glass belt grade.
Mechanical & Economy
Light PTFE coating for economical applications where increased surface texture is useful.
Crease & Tear Resistant
Substantially higher tear strength for high-speed applications.
Anti-Static / Conductive
Specially treated fabric helps reduce static build-up.
Porous / Open Mesh
Allows airflow through the belt to promote drying, curing and bonding of inks, pigments and powders.
Silicone Rubber Coated
Excellent release up to 500°F with superior abrasion, flex and chemical resistance.
Specialty Construction
Two-Ply
Belts
Two plies of PTFE coated fiberglass are laminated together with staggered splices to provide smooth, continuous thickness along the entire belt length. This helps provide a uniform seal in packaging and heat sealing applications. Belts are typically available in widths of 1/2” to 3”.
Fabrication Options
Every splice style,
built to your spec.
Taconic offers metallic, non-metallic, endless and open splices to accommodate your unique belting requirements.
Edge Reinforcements, Tracking & Guiding
Edges, guides, and hardware
that hold the line.
Selection Guide
Four factors that determine
your best belt.
Temperature Range
PTFE and silicone rubber coated belts can withstand continuous temperatures from -100°F to 500°F.
Pliability
Pulley diameter is critical. Thinner materials, including 0.010” and under, are more pliable than heavier coated fabrics.
Release Qualities
Surface finishes range from rough, semi-porous finishes to super smooth release surfaces.
Strength
Tensile and tear strength should match the load weight, belt speed and tension of the application.
