Thermoplastic Polyester Elastomer (TPE) combines the properties of synthetic rubber and flexible plastics, making it a high-performance material for industries that require both durability and flexibility. Esbelt’s POLER series belts, made from TPE, are widely used in tobacco and food processing industries due to their low emissions and high chemical resistance.

​

Key Characteristics:

​​

• Meets FDA & EU Food Safety Standards – Ensuring compliance with EU 10/2011 regulations.

• No Toxic Emissions – Unlike other synthetic materials, TPE burns cleanly, producing only carbon dioxide and water vapour.

• Resistant to Industrial Oils & Fluids – Performs well in environments where belts come into contact with lubricants, greases, and chemical substances.

• Temperature & Flexibility – Stays flexible even at low temperatures, ensuring smooth operation in cold storage and refrigerated environments.

• High Abrasion Resistance – Provides extended lifespan in high-speed and high-impact applications.

​

Ideal Applications:

​

• Tobacco Industry – Complies with Pyrolysis Test requirements, ensuring minimal emissions.

• Food Processing – Used in flour mills, grain processing, and vegetable sorting applications.

• Industrial Manufacturing – Suitable for environments exposed to oils, chemicals, and extreme wear conditions.
