In addition to required chemical resistance, mechanical strength, precise coatings, and long service life are critical to the industry's profitability.
Furthermore, special coatings can make a decisive difference in process quality and performance, for example for squeezing processes or product lamination.
MITEX produces roll coatings for the textile industry worldwide and will be happy to assist you in selecting the right specialty coating for your process requirements.
Below are examples of a few industry challenges with suggested solutions. For more information or a no-obligation recommendation from our technicians for your application, please contact us directly.
Roll surface too adhesive
Melted substrate
Short service life with regard to adhesion properties
Adhesive penetrates textile substrate and adheres to roll surface
Adhesion of substrate to roll surface
Adhesive buildup on roll surface
Contamination of the substrate
Influence on subsequent process steps
Dirt from the environment settles on the product and process parts
Cutting residues from convection in the process
Environmental influences (insects, pollen, etc.) settle on the product
Contaminants are trapped in the product in subsequent processes
Rejects
Damage to the product
Disruption of subsequent processes
High contact pressure
High process speeds
Adhesion of substrate to roll surface
No / insufficient spreading effect
Melting or cracks on the cover surface
Wrinkles, holes or similar damage to the product
Product or adhesive sticks to the roll surface
Roll cover detachment
Surfaces of the cover material too smooth
Surface profile not sufficient to emboss the product
High temperatures affect the cover material
Low service life of the surface profile
Embossing too low
High replacement intervals of the roll covers
"Picking" of the cover material on the substrate
Adhesion of substrate to roll surface
