General Description

- Dresco belting is made from a 50% cotton / polyester blend fabric. The rubber compounds are 100% natural rubber.

- The entire line of Dresco belting has been tested by all US cigarette manufacturers and has been approved for direct contact with tobacco.

- Dresco belting uses a unique fiber construction making it stronger with less stretch than other similar types of belting.

- We use less rubber between plies making our belt lighter and more flexible.

- We have developed special abrasive resistant compounds that resist wear due to silicates in tobacco.

- Nearly all USA cigarette manufacturers use our belting in their blending line, because Dresco belt does not absorb nor transmit odors.
