- Specially formulated fibre reinforced undercord stock improves belt stability.
Advantages
- Extremely smooth and cool running.
- Very high power capacity per rib
- Long life due to extra load carrying capacity
- Improved performance on back idllers
- Smaller drive package
- Tolerant of pulley groove debris
