. THE LEADING EDGEIN LIGHTWEIGHT BELT TECHNOLOGYHBD/Thermoid , Inc. has been a leadinginnovator in lightweight belt technologyfor decades. Many improvements thathave now become industry standardswere pioneered in our researchlaboratories.We were the first to use 100% polyester and50-50 polyester-cotton blends for greaterstrength and moisture resistance in our lightweight fabrics.the first to use a nitrile rubberto dramatically improve the oil resistance inour food belts. We developed the specialadhesive treatment for synthetic carcassesthat helps keep plies from separating.When it comes to conveyor belt technology,HBD/Thermoid never lets down, which iswhy so many customers look up to us forengineering excellence.UP-TO-DATE MANUFACTURING CONDITIONSThe HBD/Thermoid plant in Oneida,Tennessee, has more than 300,000 squarefeet, and is a modern belt-making plant usingstate of the art equipment. We manufacturea full-line of lightweight rubber and PVCconveyor belting under the cleanestconditions. We’ve invested heavily in thislightweight belting plant because we intend tomake our belts the very best available.SPECIALLY DESIGNED FABRICS ANDCOVERS FOR CONVEYOR SERVICEWe don’t have to rely on commercial fabrics.Instead, our textile engineers develop specialweaves designed to handle a wide range oftensions, loads, pulley sizes and troughingangles. Our cover compounds are developedby our own experienced research chemiststo cope with conditions like oil and grease,heat and cold, chemicals, acids, moistureand abrasion. So every Made-In-USAThermoid belting is designed to give youmaximum service for your dollar.For Assistance: 800/367-0420 or info@hbdthermoid.com3

SUPERIOR FABRICSDesigned and wovenspecifically for ourconveyor beltingproducts.SPECIAL TREATMENT FORSYNTHETIC FABRICSWe apply a special adhesive treatment tomost synthetic fabrics. This increasesadhesion by 50%, so covers and plies resistseparation far better than they would in anuntreated belt. This improves service lifeand increases overall cost effectiveness.(Letter “T” in fabric name designates suchtreatment, as in APT35 or PNT50.)POLYESTERS (AP, APT)These polyester belts are the mostdimensionally stable for wet service.Polyesters won’t shrink, stretch, rot ormildew when exposed to moisture, whichmakes them especially effective wherewetness is a problem. Strong and tough,these polyester belts will hold mechanicalfasteners particularly well.POLYESTER-NYLON (PN, PNT)Polyester warp members runninglongitudinally give this fabric low elongationfor minimum stretch. Resilient nylon fillermembers run transversely to hold fastenerstightly, especially where shock is involved.PN’s perform well under frequent stop-and-goconditions or where products may jam.SPECIAL COTTON-POLYESTERBLENDS (SCP)A 50-50 blend, SCP’s are 40-50% strongerthan cotton belts and more dimensionallystable. They won’t stretch or shrink in thepresence of moisture like cotton or cottonnylon belts and have little or no camber.These fabrics have more bulk than straight6polyesters for customers who prefer aheavier feel. SCP’s can be used withouta cover for a lower coefficient of friction.POLYESTER-COTTON BLENDS (PCB)A heavy-duty version of the SCP, bettersuited for heavier, textured surfaces;50-50 blends of polyester and cotton runboth longitudinally and transversely.PC’s are stronger and tougher than cottonand cotton-nylon fabrics. They also holdfasteners better.NYLOCK Designed exclusively by HBD/Thermoid,Nylock belting has a tough, interwovensingle-ply polyester body, 20% lighter inrelation to its strength than equally-ratedfabrics. Polyester tension filaments areinterlocked with 100% staple polyesterfillers, then these are fully protected with100% staple polyester face and back warps.Nylock belting has excellent resistance toimpact, 6¹ ₂ times more resistance to tearthan belting with ordinary fabrics. It workswell in the most demanding applications.

SUPERIOR COVERSCompounded specially bythe rubber and chemicalexperts at HBD/Thermoid.PVC NYLOCK This is a proprietary premium PVC beltingproduct. This belting has excellent resistanceto chemicals and acids. It cleans easily,doesn’t stain as readily as most other types.It’s available in highly oil resistant tan andwhite, and is USDA-approved for carryingmeat and poultry. It also meets all FDArequirements for food processing.NITRILE RUBBERNitrile rubber belting is our most popularbelting for food handling. Nitrile rubber hasexcellent oil resistance and withstandsgrease, fats and acids. It’s USDA-approvedfor carrying meat and poultry, plus it meetsall the requirements of the FDA. Nitrile rubber belting is available in white, tan, reddishbrown and black (non FDA and USDA).CARBOXYLATED NITRILEAn abrasion resistant rubber that is usedin our blue and orange Griptop belts.This compound also offers good oil andchemical resistance.RUBBERHBD/Thermoid is one of the nation’s mostexperienced rubber compounders. Rubbercovers are especially useful for carryingfrozen goods or in low-temperatureenvironments. Our rubber covers meetFDA requirements and are available inwhite and tan.BUTYLThis all-temperature belt compound is suitable for temperatures as high as 300 F andas low as -65 F.

LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USESWhere productivity adds upto profit, our belts can helpyou step up the pace.More and more manufacturers ofautomated equipment are looking toconveyor belts as an integrated part oftheir systems and products. Today’s beltsmust often resist attack by industrialoils, grease and chemicals. They oftenneed to operate effectively in low or hightemperatures. The covers must be builttough enough to stand up to persistentimpact and abrasion from all sizes andshapes of small parts. HBD/Thermoidbelts serve all of these needs.On assembly lines, our belts can move thingsfrom station-to-station as fast or slow asthe schedule demands. Soft but contrastingcolors go easy on the eyes while improvingthe level of quality control at inspection stations. The belts can be slit narrow enough tocarry a single part at a time cost-effectively,or we can make them wide enough to movewhole masses of parts at a steady rate.To satisfy a variety of industry’s needs, weoffer general purpose and specialty beltswith plenty of options.excellent releasecharacteristics. Thesilicone covered topply enables materialsto be conveyed ongradual inclines without slipping back andyet, releasing from thecover at the end. BIGRED has a proventrack record of performing exceptionallywell in difficult applications such as conveying tire and hosestock, and plasticsand vinyl materials.NITRILERUBBER BELTSFor general utility.Nitrile rubber belting offers a good combination of properties for a wide range of industrialuses.
