  Chemical swelling and degradation come hand-in-hand with oil-prone applications in the industries. Regular conveyor belts become victims of chemical swelling and degradation by absorbing grease, oils, and other fluids. This is where an oil-resistant conveyor belt comes to your rescue. Let us see how it is resistant to such conditions, even with the exposure to these liquids. Is Your Oil-Resistant Conveyor Belt Chemical Swelling and Degradation-Proof? What is chemical swelling? Chemical swelling is the process by which a regular conveyor belt absorbs chemicals, oils, grease, fats, and other substances. This absorption forces the polymer chains in the rubber apart. As a result, the rubber material starts to expand. What is chemical degradation? Chemical degradation is the process by which the rubber conveyor belts eventually deteriorate in the long run. This happens when the physical and chemical properties of the belts hamper. Exposure to oils, chemicals, and others is respons...

Material Handling Made Easy: Top 5 Benefits of Using an Inclined Rubber Conveyor Belt
