Extended Life, High Temperature & Wear Resistant Textile Products For Use On Aluminum Extrusion Handling Systems  

TUFF TEMP’S many decades of experience  supplying the glass industry has proved to perform exceptionally well in the aluminum extrusion market. Glass manufacturing processes tend to be abrasive and very hot (1,200º Fahrenheit / 659 Celsius and higher), and remain at higher temperatures for longer periods of time than those seen in most aluminum extrusion plants.   

In addition to superior heat resistance, TUFF TEMP products have unmatched durability. In head to head testing at a number of the largest US aluminum extrusion plants, TUFF TEMP has consistently shown longer wear life than competitor materials, longer wear life than aramid blended materials and longer wear life than comparable thickness carbon blocks. This performance directly translates into longer continuous production runs and less maintenance down time for our customers.    

Along with superior heat resistance and wear life, TUFF TEMP also possesses a very low thermal conductivity, so it will not leave unacceptable "shadow spots" like carbon. The more forgiving TUFF TEMP fabric also eliminates the scratches, dents and streaking commonly found with rigid carbon blocks.   

Be it TUFF TEMP Roller Covers, Flight Bar Pads, Transfer Arm & Walking Beam Pads, Cooling Table Pads, Spacer Covers or TUFF TEMP Endless Transfer Belts – TUFF TEMP products have been developed for your industry.  

TUFF TEMP remains the only manufacturer to offer both densely woven and needlepoint felt products to the aluminum extrusion industry.
