Abstract

Endless belts having driving surfaces comprising a high temperature flexible thermoplastic composite. More particularly, an endless toothed belt having a high temperature-, abrasion- and noise resistant cover element, and which comprises from about 60 percent to about 100 percent by weight of the composite of a high temperature flexible thermoplastic material and from about 0 percent to about 40 percent by weight of the composite of a frictional modifier system, and methods for constructing such belts. Such belts include elastomeric body portions which may preferably be formed from suitable polyurethane materials.
