Whether a multi-billion dollar multinational company, or a small local startup, all TUFF TEMP customers are treated with the highest level of customer service.
TUFF TEMP woven Kevlar Oven Roller Tapes and Ropes have become the industry standard for flat glass manufacturers and horizontal tempering range OEM's because our Tapes and Ropes have consistently proven to offer unmatched wear life and durability.
In addition to superior wear life, TUFF TEMP woven Kevlar Oven Roller Tapes and square braided Kevlar Ropes offer several performance advantages over other competing roller wrap materials:
Competing roller wrap materials that are round braided ropes, tend to flatten out and get elliptical, especially when running heavier weight glass. This usually leads to uneven roller heights throughout the quench section, causing the glass to skew during processing. TUFF TEMP woven Kevlar Oven Roller Tapes and square braided Kevlar Ropes resist deformation and maintain a consistent roller height throughout the range, even after extended use with running heavier weight glass.
TUFF TEMP's dense woven and braided constructions offer superior durability, and highly resists deformation.
Using only mechanically enhanced Kevlar yarns, all TUFF TEMP Oven Roller Tapes and Ropes are completely non-marking on the glass.
Most competing roller wrap materials that utilize a shinier filament-based Aramid or Aramid blended yarn, tend to leave unacceptable oil marks on many sensitive glass types.
TUFF TEMP Kevlar Oven Roller Tapes are manufactured and supplied in these standard sizes but custom sizes are available to meet your tempering needs.
Custom sizes are also available upon request.
It is TUFF TEMP CORP.'s policy to maintain sufficient levels of inventory in each of our roller tape and rope products, enabling us to provide quick turnaround times on your deliveries.
