Abrasion Resistance
The wear (abrasion) of cover compounds is the biggest influence on the working life of a belt. Fenner Dunlop abrasion resistant belting provides up to 50% longer wear life versus the competition because the rubber covers we use exceed international quality standards.
We have several cover compounds that help with abrasion, but the 3 listed below are our a few of our favorite abrasion-resistant compounds:
Available Cover and Rubber Compounds
OptimaHeat
OptimaHeat cover compound retains its heat resistance after continuous operation up to 400 degrees F, with minimal abrasion degradation. This new proprietary cover resists hardening and cracking while retaining its flexibility when running under extreme and high heat conditions Key Characteristics: Better Heat Aging Better Abrasion Resistance Improved Cracking…
White Granite
Recommended for specialized food grade applications in which conveyed material is required to avoid any colour contamination.
Granite (LM)
Excellent where heavy, continuous abrasion is the primary concern. Good resistance to cutting and gouging. Recommended for most above-ground abrasive material handling applications, such as coal, coal mine refuse, crushed ores and rock, slag, limestone, potash, trona, salt, sand, aggregate and other abrasives.
FireBoss CSA-C OR
(Flame, Freeze, & Oil Resistance) Moderate oil resistant covers for grain handling. Compounded for colder operating climates. Temperature range -40 deg to 300 deg F (-40 def to 95 deg C). Surpasses U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration specifications for static conductivity. The cover is also flame retardant per MSHA…
FireBoss CSA-A2
Meets Canadian standards association M422- M87 current specification for Grade A2 Ideal when an increased fire retardant level is desirable. For underground Coal Mining Applications.
FireBoss CSA-C AR
Fire Retardant cover compound with abrasion resistance for mining and industrial applications. Meets Canadian standards association M422- M87 current specification for Grade C or B2 For surface applications.
Giant XE

Guardian SAR
ARPM Grade I Fire retardant abrasion resistant compound that meets ARPM-FR Class 2 High-quality Grade I fire retardant compound specifically designed to counter the negative effects of leaching agents as well as dust suppressants. •Excellent abrasion and cover wear characteristics. •Recommended for Power Generation Facilities and Coal Prep Plants
DeltaHeat 2.0
Delta Heat® 2.0 is Fenner Dunlop’s new and improved premium hot material compound designed to resist the negative effects of cover cracking, hardening, flexing, tearing and abrasion associated with high-temperature environments. Delta Heat® 2.0 Temperature resistant to 400°F (205° C) for abrasive coarse lumps (2 inches +/ 50mm +) and…
FireBoss SAR
Meets MSHA Title 30 Part 14 B.E.L.T. standard. Ideal when an increased fire retardant level is desirable. For underground Coal Mining Applications.
MINING-FSAR
Meets U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration requirements per MSHA Title 30, Section 18.65.
White DeltaHeat
Temperature resistant to 350 deg F ( 177 deg C) for abrasive course lumps (2 inches +/ 50 mm +) and 300 deg F (149 deg C) for abrasive fines. Recommended wherever a premium high-temperature belt is required. Provides maximum service life on enclosed systems with high environmental temperatures.
Guardian / Mining-FAR / Mining-FFAR
Specifically designed to counter the negative effects of leaching agents as well as dust suppressants. Meets MSHA 2-G requirements. Increased resistance to abrasion and cover wear. Recommended for power generation facilities and coal prep plants.

Granite
Excellent where heavy, continuous abrasion is the primary concern. Good resistance to cutting and gouging. Recommended for most above-ground abrasive material handling applications, such as coal, coal mine refuse, crushed ores and rock, slag, limestone, potash, trona, salt, sand, aggregate and other abrasives.
Matchless Plus
Provides the same features of Matchless, but with approximately 15% greater service life. Compounded for the most severe cut, gouge and impact applications.
Matchless
Matchless (RMA Grade 1) Superior endurance against combined cutting, gouging and heavy impact. Recommended for transporting large, heavy lump ores, rocky earth, granite, trap rock and quartz. Unequalled in conveying heavy logs from debarker. Good abrasion resistance. Superb for glass cullet handling and other types of sharp, abrasive material.
Fireboss AR
Meets MSHA Title 30 Part 14 B.E.L.T. standard. Ideal when an increased fire retardant level is desirable. For underground Coal Mining Applications. The only cover compound on the market to meet the stringent CSA-A2 standards. Exceeds ARPM FR class 1 requirements. Ideal when an increased fire retardant level…
Titanium
