Sleeves can be made with the following features or specifications:

  • Solid Urethane: This is the most basic and popular option of exit sleeve. It offers superior cut, tear and wear resistance.
  • Solid Neoprene: This is the most basic and popular option of entry sleeve. It offers premium memory and high quality at a competitive price.
  • Composite Neoprene/Urethane: This sleeve offers the best of what neoprene and urethane have to offer. The outside layer is made of urethane which not only makes it strong, but cut and oil resistant as well. The sleeves superior memory property is due to the use of neoprene on the inside. To meet your company's needs, Universal Urethane will match the product to exact durometer specifications

Mandrel Sleeves

We offer a number of different types of polyurethane, rubber and composite (neoprene + polyurethane) formulations designed to accommodate your processing operations.

Improving Sleeve Life

Universal Urethane offers a number of features and options that can enhance sleeve life.

  • Finishes: Many surface finishes are available including smooth ground and crepe to increase friction.
  • Groove Patterns: We can groove a sleeve in the following ways:
    · diamond
    · saw-cut serrations
    · chevron/herringbone
    · razor cut serrations and spiral
  • These grooves will help with friction and oil relief.

Sleeves can be made with bevels on the inside and outside diameters to help with sleeve and coil loading. In addition, holes can be added for mounting sleeve to mandrel to help prevent slippage and sleeve removal.

Composite Sleeves

Universal Urethane now offers a new composite (Dual-Durometer) polyurethane payoff and tension reel sleeve. The external wall is made of our Sure-Grip tm high strength soft urethane that allows the tail of the sheet to reach a uniform depth equal to the sheet thickness for each corresponding wrap. This eliminates excessive scrap of inner-windings of your coil.

The sleeve is designed to fit your mandrel requirements and to increase the co-efficient of friction to improve the primary grip of the first wrap. This is especially important for oiled and highly surface critical sheets.
