There are applications in the industrial sector where standard, high-quality belts—even the most durable and expensive—are completely ineffective. If your operations involve oilseed processing, fertilizer production, fuel handling, or waste disposal, you've likely encountered the "ripple effect": the belt begins to swell, the edges wrinkle, and the top rubber layer becomes soft and sticky.

This is not a manufacturing defect. It's a natural result of standard rubber coming into contact with mineral or vegetable fats. At Belting Rezina, we've been helping Uzbek companies transition to oil- and petrol-resistant belts (MS grade) for 20 years, which are specifically designed to withstand these "unbearable" conditions for rubber.

Why do oils "kill" a regular conveyor?

At the molecular level, most technical rubbers are similar to oils and solvents. Upon contact, oil particles penetrate the rubber's structure, causing it to expand. Engineers call this swelling.

What happens to the conveyor at this moment?

1. Geometry deformation: The belt lengthens and expands. It no longer "fits" into the rollers, begins to rub against the sides, and breaks.
2. Loss of adhesion: The oil destroys the bond between the rubber lining and the fabric frame, causing the tape to simply peel apart.
3. Destruction of joints: Even if the canvas itself is still holding, the aggressive environment corrodes the glue at the joints if they are not properly protected.

Application: Where is MS tape the only option?

In 2026, Uzbekistan's industry faces challenges requiring precision material selection. Belting Rezina's MC-marked belts are needed in the following areas:

• Chemical industry: Production of mineral fertilizers, where various technological additives and oil-based anti-caking agents are used.
• Waste and solid municipal waste processing: Waste sorting lines, where the total mass inevitably contains residues of fuels and lubricants, paints and household chemicals.
• Agro-industrial complex: Plants for the production of vegetable oils, oilcake processing and feed production.
• Petrochemicals and fuels and lubricants: Moving oily parts, work at oil product transshipment terminals.

Advantages of MC belts from Belting Rezina

We supply belts made with special nitrile rubber (NBR), which creates an impenetrable barrier to oil molecules.

1. Dimensional stability: Our tape maintains its length and width throughout its entire service life, regardless of the oil concentration on the line.
2. High wear resistance: In addition to chemical protection, MS tapes offer excellent mechanical properties. They are as resistant to abrasion and cuts as the best general-purpose industrial tapes.
3. Savings on replacement: Yes, oil-resistant tape is more expensive than standard tape. But if you have to replace standard tape every three months, while MS tape lasts two to three years, the cost savings are obvious even without a calculator.

Professional approach to aggressive environments

At Belting Rezina, we don't just sell belts "from a catalog." Working with aggressive environments requires a precise understanding of the process:

• We are analyzing type of oil (mineral, vegetable or animal), since each of them requires its own type of polymer.
• We are selecting thickness of the linings, based on the abrasiveness of the load, to ensure maximum service life.
• We offer special adhesive systems for joining, which are as resistant to oils as the tape itself.

Advice from our technologist: If you notice the tape starting to bubble or feel suspiciously soft, don't wait for it to break. This is a sign that the environment is starting to damage the cord. Switching to the MC brand in a timely manner will save you weeks of downtime.
