Materials that are often suitable for this type of process are mostly flexible, such as:
- rubber
- foam
In some cases, this material is not laminated but simply wound. If desired, we can cut the sheet material to a preset length before winding.
In some cases the sheet to roll process is used after calendaring. Calendaring is a technique whereby a series of hard pressure rollers is used to finish or smoothen material into a sheet. After laminating and processing the material, it can be winded to a roll.
Advantage
The advantage of a sheet to roll process is that the material can easily be transported. In some cases, a roll itself is the finished product.
