Flex-Lag® Full Ceramic Lagging
Flex-Lag® Full Ceramic Lagging is the reliable solution for belt slippage problems that conventional rubber lagging often can’t correct. In fact, with 80% tile coverage, it features the highest coefficient of friction available in lagging materials – two to three times the friction of rubber in wet, muddy, or dry conditions.
Features and Benefits
- 80% tile coverage
- Ceramic tiles increase coefficient of friction between the belt and drive pulley in wet or variable conditions
- Constructed from hundreds of individual ceramic tiles molded into a durablerubber backing with a higher coverage than Medium Ceramic for best-in-class abrasion resistance
- Molded ceramic buttons grip the belt's underside for positive traction
- Best for high-tension belts
- Available with FRAS approved rubber, marked in blue for easy identification on site
- Smooth ceramic available on demand
Specifications
- Minimum Pulley Diameter: 12" (300 mm)
- Thickness: .5 - 1.15" (12 - 30 mm)
- Temperature Rating: 5° F to 185° F (-15° C to 85° C)
- Rubber Compound: SBR (Styrene-Butadiene-Rubber)
- Rubber Hardness: 68 ± 3 Shore A
- FRAS (Fire Resistant Anti Static) - MHSA Certification # MSHA NO. IC-190
- Ceramic Compound: Aluminum Oxide (Al203)
- Ceramic Hardness: 83 HRA Rockwell Hardness Scale A
- Strip widths from 35" (880 mm) to 101" (2560 mm) to match pulley face widths
- Strip widths from 18" (450 mm) to 84" (2100 mm) to match belt widths
Installation
- Use the Flexco Lagging calculator to determine the appropriate number of strips/rolls required for your application
- Flex-Lag does not require removing the pulley from the conveyor system
- A labor-saving cold vulcanization process with Flex-Lag Adhesive makes on-site installation fast, simple, and efficient

How to Select the Right Lagging Product
To select the right pulley lagging, be sure to consider the environmental conditions around the pulley:
- Belt condition, i.e., wet or dry
- The service required for bonded lagging versus weld-on
- The expected wear life of the lagging
