Heat Shrinkable FEP Roll Covers 1.25:1
Heat Shrink FEP Roll Covers are specifically engineered to extend roller life and to eliminate roller build-up and picking. Shrinkable FEP Roll Covers are manufactured using a seamless FEP Tube and are used in a wide spectrum of industries, including textile, packing, printing, paper, photographic and food processing.
For roll cover applications where high temperature and/or pressure are encountered, it is suggested that the cover be etched and bonded to the roller. Etching FEP Roll Covers allows you to bond to almost any roller subsurface except for rollers that are manufactured from 100 % silicone. Rollers produced from all silicone require a special primer to prep the surface for bonding.
For applications that see operating temperatures ranging over 400°F shrinkable Roll Covers made from PFA resins that help increase the maximum temperature range up to a continuous operating temperature of 500°F. Please allow us to to quote any projects that you may have for PFA Roll Covers or for sleeves with heavier walls such as .040 or .060 thick.

- Enhanced Performance: The low friction surface allows materials to move more smoothly across the material and operate quickly and efficiently. The reduced friction also results in a higher quality product because it eliminates tearing and maintains product integrity.
- Reduced Maintenance: Heat-shrink FEP roll covers eliminate sticky build-up and reduce friction, which results in less edge wear. The seamless FEP tube resists moisture and chemicals, so foreign substances can’t penetrate and damage your rollers, and are easy to install.
- Increased Productivity: Because they prevent build-up and reduce moisture, FEP roll covers allow your equipment to operate quickly with fewer line stoppages. Clean-ups are easier and more efficient. FEP roll covers also prevent paper jams in paper mills and the build-up of materials such as food residue. They’re made from FDA-approved resins, meaning they’re safe for use in food processing plants. Because they’re heat and cold-tolerant, they can operate in various environments.
Do Roll Covers Ever Need to Be Replaced?
Teflon heat shrink roll covers are very durable, but they can deteriorate from wear and tear over time and will need to be replaced when they can no longer provide adequate protection.
