History

The corrosion and abrasion resistant coating combines repellent PTFE. Its efficiency has been proven during many years of usage.

This coating is used on drying and cooling cylinders and on guide rolls which need to be kept clean and resistant to wear and corrosion to guarantee smooth runnability, a succesful process, and excellent paper quality.
