Why Roll Coverings?
Virtually all industries use rollers of some
type
Elastomer covered rolls provide
performance factors not possible with
rigid materials
Large number of polymer types and
compounding ingredients allow tailoring
of the roller to meet specific service
requirements

Industry Trends
Increasing environmental scrutiny
New equipment designs
Competitive pressure has led to
evaluation of alternative production
technologies
Changes in industry will demand higher
performance standards, and the roller
industry must keep pace with these
technical advances

Summary
Rollers are used in nearly
Hardness every industry
Hardness stability Rollers utilize nearly all
Chemical and Solvent polymer types because of
resistance the diverse applications
Hysteresis loss Successful players in the
roller industry will be those
Dimension stability
who are successful
Permanent set communicators and are able
resistance to meet the current & future
requirements, and adapt to
the industry changes
