Abstract
This study aimed to investigate a durability test of a textile composite belt for use in steel slitting. The belt was developed by combining scrim fabric and a nonwoven sheet composite with resin impregnation and a silicon finish. Because resin impregnation is necessary for a textile composite slitting belt, this study focussed primarily on examining two different types of resin influencing the belt durability, namely, thermosetting resin PVB and thermoplastic resin PET. The accelerated test conditions were obtained through a performance comparison with reference belt (50 hr with 500N load). The results indicate that thermosetting PVB is more suitable for the overall durability of a belt under repeated load conditions with friction when compared to thermoplastic PET, although PVB tends to increase the brittleness in comparison when compared to PET.
