For the Most Efficient Splice Tie
Dunlop offers a wide range of materials and accessories for hot and cold moulding operations. These products include hand tools, silicone paper, fasteners and mould plates.
The weakest point of any rubber conveyor belt is the joint. If the joint is not strong and durable enough, failure can be catastrophic. In order to achieve the best operational results, it is very important that the rubber of the jointing material has very similar physical and characteristic properties compared to the rubber used in the construction of the belt, including the outer covering rubber and the skim (inter-ply) rubber. This is because each rubber-based component has very important properties that apply to its function. In order for the jointing materials to bond with each other, there must also be a harmonious match. This is vital to ensure the most efficient connection possible with good adhesion to both the carcass and the base band. These objectives are often best achieved by utilising jointing materials supplied by the original manufacturer of the tape.
These regulations stipulate that all European manufacturers are legally obliged to comply with regulations on chemicals, mixtures and substances used to form finished products. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), based in Helsinki, is the central point of the REACH system. At Dunlop, we see REACH compliance as a fundamental part of our daily functions, as we are responsible for the welfare of everyone who uses additives. In this context, we take all necessary measures to minimise the impact of the supplementary materials used on human health and the environment.
We supply a wide range of high performance joint materials and splice kits to help our customers achieve the strongest, most reliable splice connections. An almost unique feature of the Dunlop range is that it was developed by the same engineers and technicians who developed the conveyor belts they are designed to be used on. This means that Dunlop splice materials and kits are as close to a perfect match as possible. The result is optimum performance in terms of adhesion, dynamic life and efficient application.
DUNDISOL: The hot vulcanization solution ensures the best possible adhesion properties during joint installation and excellent adhesion levels with Dunlofol.
DUNLOFOL: Uncured intermediate rubber designed for use on the ‘steps’ of the splice to rebuild the tape carcass.
DUNCOVER: Uncured cover rubber is used above and below the splice to rebuild the cover area of the belt.
UNCURED RUBBER FABRICS: Can be supplied as reinforcement in heavy duty/high tensile splices, for making ‘spot repairs’ and for specialty splices such as UsFlex finger splices.
ENERKOL COLD GLUE AND HARDENING CEMENT: For cold bonding of conveyor belts with textile carcasses suitable for abrasion resistant rubber coatings. Enerkol is also a highly effective adhesive for pulley lagging* (* We recommend the use of a special steel liner for this purpose).
Dunlop provides the complete splice kits needed to create strong and durable splices for abrasion, temperature, fire and oil resistant versions, including various coating qualities such as UsFlex and Ferroflex between different tape types. The range also includes standard and pre-formed splice kits for steel cord tapes. All splice materials and kits can be ordered in bulk quantities.
No one in our industry works as physically close to rubber conveyor belts as splicing technicians. Another almost unique advantage of using Dunlop splicing materials is that they comply with the REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) regulation EC 1907/2006.
