Cleaning Recommendations

Cleaning of roll covers

From time to time, it is necessary to clean the surface of elastomer-coated rolls of contaminants and residues such as dyes, resins, oils, etc.

The cleaning can be done independently of the elastomer mixture by warm soapy water.

If this cleaning is not sufficient, please take a look on our cleaning recommendations, which shows usable solvents with consideration of the elastomer mixture.

Storage of elastomer-coated rollers

Elastomeric roller coatings can undergo changes in atmospheric oxygen, ozone, moisture, too cold or too warm ambient temperature of storage or solvents.

Correct treatment extends the life of covered rolls.

Guidelines for the treatment of rubber products are contained in DIN 7716.
