Abstract: A fabric layer includes a fabric and a crosslinkable elastomer, where the fabric defines a first side and the crosslinkable elastomer defines an opposing side. The fabric is coated with a crosslinkable elastomer and the combination is molded into a multiple tooth shaped fabric layer. In some aspects, the first side is an inner surface void of the crosslinkable elastomer. In some cases, the crosslinkable elastomer is crosslinked while the fabric layer is molded, while in some other cases, the crosslinkable elastomer is surface cured while the fabric layer is molded. The crosslinkable elastomer may be an alloy of crosslinkable polyethylene and EPDM. The fabric layer may be used as an outer layer of a synchronous drive belt, a timing belt, a poly-v belt, or offset tooth belt.
