Fire-resistant belting is usually used when transporting heated materials. Rubber has natural properties which can be ignited and burn.

Grade F rubber belt has added properties which increase the ignition temperature and increases resistance to fire.

An example of the use of Grade F rubber belts are at underground mines, coal mines and power stations. If a rubber conveyor belt were to catch underground, the smoke and air hazards could be potentially fatal, therefore fire-resistant belts are usually used to mitigate the risk.

Work at coal mines and power stations involve heat processes. Fire-resistant belts help to reduce the risk of the heated process causing the conveyor belt to ignite.
