Yes, olefin/polypropelene has a very low heat set. It will melt at a low temperature. I've actually seen where folks have scuffed their feet on olefin with their heels and left little melted spots.
Your 390 rpm machine may be a little too fast for olefin. And this is a good reminder for everyone to keep olefin lubricated with solution and also keep the machine moving - avoiding slowing down or standing in one spot.
Thank you for sharing your story with everyone here. It's a helpful reminder! I can imagine the horror you felt as you saw that happen. At least you were able to improve the appearance to a nearly new condition.
