Methods of manufacturing a belt include laying up a first elastomeric layer of a belt build on a mandrel, laying up a tensile reinforcement layer on the first elastomeric layer, where the tensile reinforcement layer contains cords coated with a water based urethane compound, and laying up a second elastomeric layer on the first elastomeric layer and the tensile reinforcement layer. The belt build may be cured in a profile-forming mold, and afterward, cut to a predetermined belt width and/or length.

A two-faced, modified interlock knit fabric for use in the manufacture of toothed belts, the fabric constructed by plating a partially oriented first yarn of polyester or nylon with a second yarn of polyester or spun cotton and knit in a blister stitch in the machine direction is provided. A method of forming toothed belts incorporating such a fabric is also provided.

A warp-directional stretch fabric that defines two right faces and is formed from warp yarns defined by a nylon and fill yarns defined by an aramid. The fabric can be incorporated into a toothed belt, for example a transmission belt, to produce a belt that has enhanced structural and resistance capabilities while capable of being produced at a lower cost than prior art belts. A method of producing an improved toothed belt including the fabric is also provided.

A surface sheet which is to constitute a surface layer and a core sheet which is to constitute a core layer are prepared. A plurality of ridges is formed on the core sheet, and the surface sheet is bonded such that the surface sheet covers the plurality of ridges, thereby forming compression layer-forming portions.
