Silicone Rubber Rollers & Molded Parts: Ready for Demanding Applications
When heat, pressure, and chemical exposure push materials to their limits, silicone rubber rollers and silicone molded parts hold the line. At Rol-Tec, we engineer high-performance silicone solutions that excel in coating, laminating, printing, packaging, and food processing—industries where precision and durability are non-negotiable.
Whether you need a custom roller covering or a molded component designed to withstand extreme conditions, Rol-Tec delivers tailored solutions with industry-leading precision.

Why Silicone? More Than Just Heat Resistance
Silicone’s reputation for high-temperature performance is well known, but its advantages go beyond that:
- Unmatched Release Properties – Silicone resists sticking, making it ideal for coating and laminating applications where clean separation is critical.
- Resilience Under Pressure – Unlike other elastomers, silicone maintains flexibility and shape under heavy loads.
- Chemical & UV Resistance – Designed to handle industrial solvents, oils, and prolonged sun exposure without breaking down.
- Enhanced Toughness – By blending silicone with EPDM and Hypalon, we improve its abrasion resistance while preserving its release and temperature resistance.
Silicone is a material engineered for longevity, and when formulated correctly, it outperforms standard rubber compounds in specialized industrial applications.

Silicone Rubber Rollers: Engineered for Precision & Longevity
Rol-Tec manufactures and refurbishes silicone rubber rollers for a wide range of industrial applications. Whether you need a new roller or a recovered one, we deliver:
- Custom durometers for specific pressure and friction needs
- Precision-ground surfaces for uniform application
- Dynamic balancing to reduce vibration and extend roller life
- Industry-specific coatings to enhance performance
Our rollers are built to endure intense production cycles, reducing downtime and maintaining consistent results over the long term.
Silicone Molded Parts: Custom Solutions for Unique Challenges
From seals and gaskets to precision-molded sleeves, Rol-Tec’s silicone-molded parts meet exact industry demands. Our in-house molding process allows for full customization, ensuring that each part is formulated for the specific conditions it will face—whether that’s extreme heat, chemical exposure, or high-pressure environments.
Common applications include:
- Medical & Food Processing – FDA-grade silicone for sanitary, non-stick performance.
- Printing & Packaging – Precision-molded rollers and sleeves for smooth material transfer.
- Industrial Sealing Solutions – High-tolerance molded parts for gaskets and pressure seals.
Every component is engineered to fit your specs, built for durability, and manufactured with exacting precision.

Rubber Roller Re-covering: Restore Performance, Extend Life
Why replace a worn roller when you can recover it for a fraction of the cost? Rol-Tec’s rubber roller re-covering services breathe new life into damaged or worn-out rollers, restoring them to like-new condition with industry-leading precision.
- Re-covering vs. Replacing – Cost-effective, fast, and sustainable
- Tailored to Your Application – Choose from rubber, urethane, or silicone coverings
- Full Machining Capabilities – Handling rollers up to 31” OD x 280” between centers
If your rollers are showing wear, our recovery process will extend their performance and save you money.
Why Rol-Tec? The Difference is in the Details
At Rol-Tec, we do more than supply rollers and molded parts—we engineer performance solutions tailored to the most demanding industrial applications. Our fully integrated facility allows us to:
- Control every step of production, from raw material formulation to final finishing
- Customize silicone blends for enhanced durability, heat resistance, and release properties
