SHIELD ™ SHIELD Introducing SHIELD The underground conveyor belt compound that meets government flammability standards to enhance miner safety. The most valuable resource to come out of the mine… is the one that goesin every day. In order to improve miner safety and meet new flammabilityrequirements, we have developed a compound that’s virtually halogen-free.The result? A belt compound that not only extinguishes flames quickly, butalso gives off less-toxic gas and smoke.Why SHIELD? Why Now? New MSHA B.E.L.T. (Belt Evaluation Laboratory Test) standards becameeffective on December 31, 2008.How Does it Work? SHIELD is virtually halogen-free. That means it’s virtually free of fluorine,chlorine and bromine, which are common elements in flame-resistant belts.When heated, they generate thick, irritating toxic smoke.And because SHIELD is made from rubber instead of PVC or neoprene, itcan be easily vulcanized into current specifications.Features: • Approved by MSHA as meeting part 14 (B.E.L.T.) requirement forflame resistance in coal mines• SHIELD virtually eliminates the use of halogenated materials likechlorine and bromine, both of which can generate thick, toxic smoke.• Maintains the same abrasion resistance and adhesions as conventionalflame-resistant compounds.• SHIELD is available on our full-line of fabric-reinforced undergroundbelts, including Coal Quest®and Glide®Plus.• Can be vulcanized into existing 2G (ARMA/ARMAII) compounds.*• Exceeds flame-resistance requirement and provides peace of mindwith higher safety standards.* Use only genuine Goodyear Engineered Products splice materials for all of your vulcanized splices. SHIELD compound splice materials have also been certified to MSHA’s part 14 requirements and are required for underground use. Available on Coal Quest ® and Glide ® Plus conveyor belts. Helping to keep miners safe.

S H I E L D ™ SHIELD SHIELD. Tested to perform better. Belt with Shield Belt withOUT Shield The side-by-side comparison shows howshieldoutperforms the existing 2G and B.E.L.T. belts, meetingnew standards while reducing levels of smoke and toxicity.The belt with Shield, as shown on the left, holds its integrity better. And as the smokestack comparison shows,Shield gives off much less smoke as well.SHIELD new standards without giving off dense and toxic smoke.Shieldis able to meet the new requirements, and produce much less smoke.The following charts show how much less smoke and toxicity SHIELD gives off when compared to existing specifications. Smaller numbers mean big results.While competitive products meet B.E.L.T. requirements,SHIELD far surpasses them in terms of smoke density.TOXIC GASES FROM BELTS CARBON MONOXIDE 6000SHIELD ™Current 2 G Rubber B.E.L.T.
