The Black Diamond hard rubber cover from Stowe Woodward has been the work horse compound for table rolls, breast rolls, wire return and wire turning rolls for over a quarter-century. It is still the standard for many wet end applications. The superior abrasion resistance of Stowe Woodward's polyurethane covers dramatically increases run life and enhances dewatering by keeping suction holes and grooves sharp. New ceramic and nanoparticle technologies developed by Stowe Woodward deliver exponential increases in durability and toughness.

Film extrusion lines and metalizers present a special set of challenges to roll cover manufacturers. Engineered compounds from Stowe Woodward address the needs of the film extruder by delivering good surface finishes absent of voids or occlusions, and possessing the necessary release properties for smooth film processing.

High abrasion and temperature resistance ensure that the performance properties remain viable for the life of all Stowe Woodward covers. From stock preparation through converting, Stowe Woodward solves problems, extends roll cover life and improves machine efficiency through superior performance.

Stowe Woodward facilities are ISO 9001:2000 Certified.
