Tape (1) comprising a first cover layer (2) with a first upper surface (21) and a second cover layer (3) with a second upper surface (31); wherein the tape does not have support bands that project laterally within, on or near its neutral plane, in the form of projections that extend laterally from the side faces of the tape a sufficiently long distance and that are sufficiently rigid to that the belt can be supported by said lateral supports on a pulley, characterized in that the first cover layer (2) consists of a foam comprising a first thermoplastic or first thermoplastic elastomer, the foam of the first cover layer (2) being ) a closed cell foam and the first cover layer (2) being devoid of a lining; because the second cover layer (3) consists of a foam comprising a second thermoplastic or second thermoplastic elastomer, the foam of the second cover layer (3) being a closed cell foam and the second cover layer (3 ) devoid of a coating. |
