This uses a single type of fiber. Since it uses synthetic materials, it tends to be more heat resistant and can be formed more easily to a rougher backing that will have less surface contact with the deck. The reason this is important is that less contact area will result in less friction which puts far less strain on the motor and controller.</p>bus hireThu, 15 Apr 2010 13:05:01 -0000http://www.turbojethorizon.com/2010/01/street-life-4/#comment-44983255<p>Many companies over the last 20 years that once used cotton have now switched over to a polyester blend.
