Temperature Factor
Temperature
Temperature has an affect on the physical properties of thermoplastic materials. Generally, as the operating
temperature increases, the belt will weaken in strength, but become tougher and more impact resistant. Conversely,
in colder applications, belts can become stiffer and in some cases brittle. The temperature factor curve shows
the effect of temperature on belt strength, and this graph can be used in calculating the conveyor belt analysis by
hand. The Intralox Engineering Program calculates the temperature factor automatically, based on the operating
temperature of the application.
18 ThermoDrive® Chemical Resistance Guide
This chemical resistance chart is printed as a general reference guide only. Each application has unique
circumstances that may alter the results as printed herein. No guarantee of chemical resistance is given or
implied.
