DuraFab®, DuraLam® and DuraFlow® fabrics are used to manufacture an extensive line of belts and fabricated parts ranging in thickness from .003” to over .060”. Available with fiberglass, Kevlar® and Nomex® substrates, these products are fabricated in widths ranging from ¼” up to 141” (certain fabric styles only). The normal operating temperatures for these belts are from –100°F to 550°F (–73°C to 288°C). While not all-inclusive, the following are some typical applications for AFC’s DuraFab®, DuraLam® and DuraFlow® belts and fabricated parts:
Rotary band sealing

PTFE vs. Stainless Steel and Modular Plastic Belting
Lower Maintenance Costs: PTFE belts are non-stick and easy to clean
Energy Savings: PTFE belts provide better heat transfer and absorb less energy
Cost Savings: PTFE belts are less expensive to purchase and, due to their low relative mass, can be operated utilizing a simpler, less expensive pulley and drive system
