Simtex™
General Information
Simtex™ uses a special formulation of specially selected synthetic fibres, prepared in a unique way, oriented circumferentially to coincide with the direction of material to be calendered. This approach ensures maximum ‘forged’ strength and smoothness.
One of the many advantages of using Simtex™ is that it is able to withstand 250c+ maximum surface temperature with a maximum temperature of the steel roll at 400°C+.
