For low temperature environments from 15°F
to -40°F (-9°C to -40°C) we
recommend our solid Hytrel ® belts, stretched 8%. Good
for refrigerated, deep freeze cold rooms, sushi warehouses, and ice
cream plants. These
cold resistant belts have a good elastic memory, but they must not
be overstretched, and they
less abrasion resistant than urethane. At low temperatures, however,
abrasion is usually not an issue. Our 90A durometer Hytrel belts
come in a 3/16" inch (4.8mm) cross-section.
Hytrel is also much more chemically resistant than
urethane, especially resists most acids and bleach.
For temperatures from 32°F
to 15°F (0°C to -9°C) we recommend our
clear Low Temperature Urethane belting (Cyclothane-E), stretch
10% to 14%. These cold resistant belts have an excellent elastic
memory and are very abrasion resistant. Thousands are being used
in meat packing plants and other refrigerated environments.
Cyclothane-E is also much more humidity resistant than standard urethane.
For the best in low temperature belts and cold environment belting, insist on Dura-Belt.

Low Temperature Hytrel Belts
WARNING: Hytrel
belts must not be overstretched, especially during installation, as
Hytrel does not bounce back like urethane. Do not use hooks to
install belts because hooks bend the cord too sharply. This damages
Hytrel. Click here for installation instructions.
