Metal Product Overview

Custom roll cover formulations for your most demanding metal industry applications

The tough ones do come to us. We design rubber roll covers to withstand caustic environments, the slashing of jagged metal edges and searing temperatures. Each one is custom-formulated using natural rubber, SBR, nitrile, Neoprene, EPDM, silicone, Viton or custom-made premium polyurethane from ester-based, ether-based, MDI and TDI materials. We are also your U.S. source for MasrollŪ micro-fiber vacuum suction rolls that offer exceptional performance in your liquid processing applications.
