~~ Urethane Roll Coverings for Steel Mills, Steel-Mill Rolls

Universal Urethane Products has Urethane Roll Coverings For Steel Mills

Universal Urethane has been an industry leader in refurbishing rolls for steel and aluminum mills and service centers.

Some of the rolls we recover include:

Bridle rolls for steel and aluminum mills:

We have developed special materials to increase co-efficient of friction while increasing wear and physical properties.

Blocker rolls:

Our blocker rolls are formulated to withstand abuse and most importantly handle coil weight without covers delaminating.

Coater rolls:

Our coater rolls are ground to customer specifications including 40-60 RA finish. These rolls are formulated to have high wear properties to cut down on changing rolls.

Squeegee rolls:

Universal Urethane has developed an ether based material specifically for squeegee roll applications. This material has been found to outlast standard rubber squeegee rolls by up to 10 times greatly reducing down time and bearing replacement costs.

Tower rolls
Cell/Spider rolls:

Our cell rolls are made from a specific formula for warm electrolytic water typically found in this application.

Hold down rolls
