The textile industry utilizes rollers coverings in a variety of applications designed to squeeze water and or chemicals out of substrates that are being manufactured.

These applications include bleaching, dyeing , mercerizing and slashing. Roll coverings used in these applications must withstand the chemistry being used to bleach and/or dye the fabric being processed. Roll coverings must also exhibit excellent dynamic properties since rollers operate under high pressure and speeds. Lastly, roll coverings must be able to withstand elevated temperatures in the aqueous media and must not degrade from long term exposure.
