A sheet material () consisting of an mixture consisting essentially of: a) 10-50 percent by weight of random-oriented fibres, and; b) 90-50 percent by weight of a thermoplastic or thermoplastic elastomer; the weight percentages being based on the overall homogeneous mixture; and the sheet material having at room temperature a Shore D hardness of 40 to 85, preferably of 40 to 60, more preferably of 45 to 55. The sheet material () is used as a support in punching applications or as the top layer in punching belts ().

A conveyor belt () for conveying a good in a belt travel direction, comprising magnetic markers () embedded into the belt, the magnetic markers () being arranged in at least one row () parallel to the belt's travel direction, characterized in that a) the magnetic markers () are formed of a matrix of an elastomeric, thermoplastic elastomeric or thermoplastic material with particles of a ferromagnetic material embedded therein, b) the matrix is filled with the ferromagnetic material particles in an amount of 60 to 90 vol %, based on the sum of matrix and ferromagnetic material particles; c) the geometric thickness of the markers is 30 to 70% of the overall thickness of the belt; and d) the ferromagnetic material has a maximum energy product (BH)in the range of 30 to 100 k J/m. The belt is suitable for prolonged use in single pass line-head inkjet printers and allows precise position determination of the belt.
