Escort

Escort rollers are available in six different series and a wide variety of surface finishes to satisfy the most stringent application requirements. Escort CK Series: Our most economical release coating. The clear CK is recommended for hygiene applications and for idler rolls contacting pressure sensitive or hot melt adhesives. Escort CW Series: All purpose, non-marking release coating recommended for hygiene applications and for idler rolls contacting pressure sensitive or hot melt adhesives. Escort CR Series: All purpose, high temperature release coating, excellent for adhesive curing and idler rolls contacting pressure sensitive or hot melt adhesives. Escort HB Series: Durable, contrast release coating. Escort HW Series: Extremely durable, non-marking release coating, excellent for hygiene applications and where durability is the most desired feature. Escort DS Series: Durable, high temperature, easy cleaning release coating that is the product of choice when a cleanable traction coating is the primary desired feature, or in corrosive environments and with molten plastics.

Valcom

Valcom composites are light weight, have excellent concentricity, and have dimensional stability and low linear thermal expansion. Valcom VA100 E-Glass Composite Idlers: Recommended for printing and converting applications with high speeds and light tensions. For use as transport, dancer, lay on and transducer rollers. Valcom VA200 Carbon Composite Idlers: For printing and converting applications with high speeds and light tension requirements, as an alternative to steel, aluminum or e-glass. For use in the transport, transducer, dancer, lay on and load cell roller positions.
