V-GUIDES
– PVC and Urethane Tracking Guides
Shingle Belting’s PVC V-Guides are
extruded from superior PVC
compounds. Our PVC V-guides are much
more cost effective because they can
be applied with less heat; which
decreases the damage to the belt’s
carcass, they will not crack or
delaminate and they have good
resistance to heat and oils.
- Clear Urethane - 70 shore A (meets FDA requirements)
- White PVC – 75 shore A (meets FDA requirements)

of the total belt cost. Why risk
costly belt failures with inferior,
clay-filled V-Guides?
