Underground Coal FRAS — AS Grade S
Fire-resistant and antistatic belt systems for Australian underground coal-mining applications.
Product overview
Built around the duty.
AS Grade S is the underground coal FRAS pathway. The complete belt construction follows AS 4606 type testing and certification, including fire, drum-friction and electrical-resistance behaviours rather than relying on cover-rubber properties alone.

Relative performance profile
Selection guidance without proprietary data.
Bars show a qualitative application profile only. They are not laboratory results and do not use a numeric scale.
AS Grade S is distinct from general-purpose K Grade FRAS. Compliance is not represented by a single rubber-property number: certification scope, type-test status, construction and intended underground mine application must be confirmed for every supply.
