Abstract: The invention relates to a flexible belt comprising a woven fabric. The woven fabric has approximately parallel straight sides and ends, where the ends are releasably or permanently securable to one another to form an endless loop. The woven fabric contains a set of warp yarns and a set of weft yarns. The set of warp warps are in a warp yarn direction and the warp yarns comprise monofilament warp yarns having a first denier. The set of weft yarns are in a weft yarn direction which is approximately perpendicular to the warp yarn direction. The weft yarns are in a repeating pattern of at least one monofilament weft yarn followed by at least one multifilament weft yarn. The monofilament weft yarn has a linear mass density of at least about 2,500 denier and at least about 5 times the denier of the monofilament warp yarn.

Abstract: A winder liner for unvulcanized rubber material comprising a first woven layer, a second woven layer, and a polymer layer. The first and second woven layers each contain a plurality of warp tape elements in a warp direction interwoven with a plurality of weft tape elements in a weft direction and a plurality of interstices between the warp and weft tape elements. The polymer layer is disposed on the inner surfaces of the first woven layer and the second woven layer and in the interstices of the first woven layer and the second woven layer. The polymer layer contains a first polymer comprising a co-polymer having at least 50% ?-olefin units and is characterized by a number-average molecular weight of about 7,000 to 500,000 g/mol, and a viscosity of between about 2,500 and 150,000 cP measured at 170° C.
