Silicone rubber is prized for its heat resistance, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. It also has excellent release properties, which means materials like adhesives or inks don’t stick to the roller surface. This makes silicone rollers ideal for the food processing, electronics, and packaging industries, where maintaining a clean roller surface is critical.
EPDM is highly resistant to weathering, ozone, and UV exposure, making it a great material for outdoor applications. It’s also resistant to chemicals and heat, which adds to its versatility. EPDM-covered rollers are often used in the construction, automotive, and agricultural industries.
