While traditional plied belting utilizes a conventional crimp-weave fabric in plain or crow’s foot patterns, the UsFlex straight-warp carcass construction incorporates a completely different concept. The lengthwise and crosswise belt strength is concentrated in parallel planes of heavyweight, high-tenacity straight yarns which are then locked together by a unique binder system. Each of these planes provides the reinforcing effect of multiple plies of conventional fabric with no crimping to weaken the yarns. The carcass binder system acts as a built-in breaker to resist impact and puncture.
