There are numerous functional requirements of rubber rollers in the flexible packaging industry viz. – printing, pulling, laminating, nipping, squeezing, feeding and conducting etc.

In almost all of these applications, a uniform pressure zone – “NIP” – is required at the point of contact of two rollers. We keep this in mind while formulating rubber compositions – with a view that roll coverings do not degrade with use and are stable to ensure a uniform nip region. The rubber polymer selection and a host of ingredients that go with it ensure that the physical properties of rubber covers do not change appreciably in its dynamic state .

Further the rubber chemistry is a function of the operating criteria of the application.
