Study on the fire resistance of EP Polyester Conveyor Belt

In many industrial scenarios, the fire resistance of conveyor belts is crucial, and the fire resistance of EP Polyester Conveyor Belt has also become the focus of research.

EP Polyester Conveyor Belt itself has a certain fire resistance foundation. Polyester materials have a higher ignition point than some traditional conveyor belt materials. This makes it not easy to ignite easily at normal working environment temperature. In some places where there are potential heat sources, such as material conveying areas near heating equipment, EP Polyester Conveyor Belt can resist the invasion of heat to a certain extent and reduce the risk of fire.

From the perspective of material modification, in order to improve the fire resistance of EP Polyester Conveyor Belt, flame retardants are often added. These flame retardants can play a role when the conveyor belt encounters flames. When the flame contacts the conveyor belt, the flame retardant will react chemically. For example, some flame retardants release non-flammable gases, which can dilute the oxygen concentration in the surrounding air, thereby inhibiting the further spread of the flame. At the same time, the flame retardant may also form an insulating carbon layer on the surface of the conveyor belt, which can prevent heat from further conducting into the conveyor belt, protect the internal structure of the conveyor belt from being destroyed, thereby maintaining the integrity of the conveyor belt and preventing the fire from spreading rapidly along the conveyor belt.

Fire performance testing in actual application scenarios is also indispensable. Simulate different fire scenarios, such as continuous baking of a small fire source or instantaneous flame impact. In the test, it was found that the fire-proofed EP Polyester Conveyor Belt can effectively prevent the spread of flames within a certain period of time and will not produce a large amount of toxic smoke. This is of great significance for ensuring personnel safety and reducing fire losses.
