HT NITRILE: An oil-resistant compound formulated for applications demanding higher resistance to heat, oil and abrasion. It is resistant to temperatures up to 300°F, abrasion flexing, oxidation and the effect of corrosive atmospheres.	MORS: Compounded to resist the terpene content of wood chips and moderately oily grains. It has good abrasion resistance and is a good value for handling moderately oily material where fire resistance is not required.
ARMA (Abrasion Resistant, Mining Application): Designed for underground applications and meets Mine Safety and Health Administration designation 28-3 for flame resistance while maintaining good abrasion characteristics.	OMEGA®: Moderate resistance to oil and static conductive. O.M.E.G.A. qualifies as fire resistant under Mining Safety and Health Administration Designation (MSHA) 28-3.
ARMA-SBR: Designed especially for above-ground prep plant and power plant applications. ARMA-SBR offers 33% more abrasion resistance than MSHA-SBR while maintaining Mine Safety and Health Administration Designation (MSHA) 28-3 for flame resistance.	PATHFINDER® SUPREME: Designed especially for the grain industry where oily grains and controlled mineral or vegetable oil dust suppressive sprays come in contact with the belt.
ARMA II: Designed especially for mining applications that require fire resistance. Offers 40% more abrasion resistance than ARMA-SBR while maintaining Mine Safety and Health Administration designation 28-3 for flame resistance.	PATHFINDER® PLUS: Designed especially for the grain industry where oily grains and controlled mineral or vegetable oil dust suppressive sprays come in contact with the belt. Suitable to -40°F.
DEFENDER™: An RMA Grade II rubber compound designed to provide excellent abrasion resistance, good gouge resistance and excellent flexing life.	SOLAR-SHIELD®: A premium hot material compound with excellent heat resistance. It is designed to carry hot loads at temperatures up to 400°F and still retain its excellent heat resistant qualities. Solar-Shield has maximum resistance against hardening and cracking. Available in two fabric reinforcements: polyester for up to 400°F and fiberglass to resist burn through for up to 1000°F.
EASYRIDER™: A low rolling resistance compound for the pulley side only which is designed to educe the energy cost by minimizing friction losses. Proven with over 200 miles of belt in operation, energy consumption is reduced by as much as 20% compared to standard compounds.	STACKER®: Premium RMA Grade I Rubber Compound, designed for superior resistance to cutting, gouging, and abrasion.
FRAS-C: Fire retardant anti-static belting is certified by the Canadian Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Ottawa to CAN/CSA M422-M87, Type C, for below surface use as well as other mining operations.	SURVIVOR®: Superior abrasion resistance. Ideal for crushed stone, trap rock, ore, copper, taconite and other abrasive applications.
GLOBAL X: RMA Grade I. Offers superior cut, goug resistance and very good abrasion resistance.	6740-A: Compounded for excellent heat and abrasion resistance in temperature ranges of 350°F for lumpy material and up to 250°F for hot baking loads.
