High Temperature Kevlar Felts

Polysource Australia supplies a family of high quality, ultra high temperature resistant non-asbestos conveyor belting, narrow tapes, seamless tubing and fabricated pad products. These are based on Kevlar, the world's strongest and toughest flexible reinforcing fibre.

Polysource has become Australia's premier supplier of heat and abrasion-resistant Kevlar textile products. Today, our various products have become the Standard for hot end handling and conveyance.

Each of our densely woven products have been uniquely engineered to meet the critical needs of handling hot end manufacturing processes such as primary and secondary glass manufacturing, and soft and hard alloy aluminum extruding. Our products make a significant improvement in the quality of manufacturing.

There are three basic categories:

• Polysource 100% Kevlar. This range is ideal for the “cooler” 450ºC and lower temperature regions of the offtake further removed from the press
• Polysource Ultra High Temperature (UHT). This range is based on alloying higher temperature materials with Kevlar, to produce a proven temperature resistance of over 600ºC. This suits regions close to the press.
• Polysource Resin Treated. This range proves ideal in high wear applications, producing a significant increase in intervals between replacements, and great confidence for Maintenance Managers. Resin Treatment can be applied to both categories above.

The Polysource range replaces asbestos, felt, fiberglass and other more brittle high temperature materials which prove to be inadequate.

Fibre moulting has been identified and eliminated by a special manufacturing and treatment technique which ensures quenching and cooling spray nozzles remain unblocked.

Polysource UHT Products are ideal for ultra high temperature Roller Sleeve, Pad, Endless Belt and Gasketing applications.

Polysource stocks of material and response to individual customer specifications produce a lead time about 50% faster than our competitors.
