Illinois-based Finzer Roller has developed a rubber compound for rollers on coaters that is said to improve performance compared to alternative products.
Called Ultra-Can, the compound is suitable for both inker and coater rollers in the two-piece and three-piece canmaking industries.
The product was developed following the appearance of a gap in the market, says Finzer’s Randy Apperson: “Finzer started developing the Ultra-Can compound in response to EI DuPont’s announcement that they were shutting down their Hypalon manufacturing, which was one of the rubber compounds used by many metal decorators.
