Fluoro-Wear™ 102
• Improved Product Quality
• Eliminates Sticking and Picking
• Increases Production
• Restores Roll Surface to Better Than New
• Easy Installation
Roll covers made with Teflon® have been used by the paper industry for 35 years. But Fluoro-Wear is the first roll cover product of reinforced Teflon®.
When the product was introduced 10 years ago the original wear testing indicated four times greater abrasion resistance than unreinforced FEP made from Teflon®. Recent thickness measurements taken on a roll cover in service indicate a Fluoro-Wear roll cover is lasting more than 10 times as long as the unreinforced roll covers. The reinforced Teflon® has greater strength at higher temperatures. Fluoron's suggested service limit is 400°F. However, one bowed roll cover operating at the end of an infrared oven may see temperature excursions to 500° - 550°F for short periods and has not damaged the roll cover. The roll covers reinforced with carbon are static dissipative eliminating static build up.
Applications:
Because of the excellent wear resistance Fluoro-Wear roll covers are excellent on felt carrying rolls having build-up problems. Other roll cover applications are high wear bowed rolls, lead in/lead out rolls, dryer and polyethylene extrusion lamination back up rolls.
