Buna-Nitrile
Buna-nitrile rubber rollers provide industries with a durable and reliable solution for efficient material handling. They offer unmatched performance in demanding environments. At Rol-Tec, we specialize in offering Buna-N rubber rolls that meet specific industry standards. This ensures reliability, precision, and cost-effectiveness.
Chemical and Abrasion Resistance in Buna-Nitrile Rubber Rollers
Buna-nitrile rubber rollers resist a wide range of chemicals, making them a solid choice for industrial use. The nitrile rubber material is a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile. It is engineered to handle exposure to fuels and most acids without sacrificing performance. Chemical resistance ensures long-lasting durability in harsh conditions.
Their abrasion resistance also shields the material against wear and tear. Whether used for food processing, textile manufacturing, or printing, these rollers maintain their integrity, minimizing downtime and replacement costs.
Versatility Across Industrial Applications
- Printing and Offset Printing: They help ensure you get consistent pressure for smooth, even ink transfer.
- Textile Manufacturing: They hold up to friction and chemical treatments in production lines.
- Food Packaging and Processing: It ensures any surface that comes into contact with food stays hygienic and durable.
- Aerospace and Automotive: They perform well under exposure to extreme temperatures and oils or fuels.
- Industrial Manufacturing: They’re suitable for conveyor systems or other heavy-duty applications.
These diverse applications showcase the reliability and functionality of these products.
Precision Engineering for Custom Rollers
Our staff excels in designing and manufacturing custom rollers tailored to specific needs. We ensure every roller meets stringent performance standards. This includes helping with mold design and creating custom urethane formulations.
Our engineering and design expertise cut upfront costs using optimized mold design. Also, our tailored formulations help ensure you get the physical properties needed for your unique uses. We offer small and large batch roller formations to meet your demands, and we have finishing options available.
Reliable Performance in Extreme Conditions
We manufacture our Buna-N rubber roll to perform in a wide temperature range. It performs well at -40°F to +250°F, ensuring flexibility in freezing and high-heat environments. This versatility makes them suitable for the aerospace and automotive sectors, where extreme conditions are common. The material's flexibility at lower temperatures ensures consistent performance.
Whether handling petroleum-based fuels, lubricating oils, or abrasive materials, these rollers will deliver reliable results.
