WINtrac™ & Anodized Roller Coatings Overview

WINtrac™ Coatings for Traction & Inline Integration

The revolutionary WINtrac™ coatings are formulated for various applications, including web roll handling, printing and label production, and adhesive applications. This unique coating process was specially designed to complement and enhance WINertia™ aluminum idler rollers.

Benefits of WINtrac™ Roller Coatings

Traction is improved with micro grooving on all WINtrac™ coatings. WINtrac™ provides durability similar to anodized rollers with added benefits:

  • Outperforms traction of uncoated, anodized or spiral grooved rollers
  • Outperforms ink picking/release of anodized/spiral groove rollers

The WINtrac™ coating is directly integrated with the WINertia™ aluminum idler roller manufacturing process. We eliminate the outsourcing time normally associated with coating rollers. As a result, we provide customers with the highest quality coated rolls at the lowest possible price. This inline integration also allows for a short lead-time. WINtrac™ coated rolls are manufactured just as quickly as an uncoated roll – just 5 business days.

Anodized Roller Coatings for Durability & Abrasion Resistance

Anodized coatings offer a great way to increase the durability, abrasion resistance and life of your rollers. The hard aluminum oxide layer resists scratching and abrasive materials. Componex offers both type II and type III hard coats, with black dye and PTFE impregnation as options.

Optimizing RotoRepel™ with Anodized Finishes

Want to maximize the performance of RotoRepel release coating on your WINertia™ idlers? Order it applied over a type II or type III anodized finish for maximum life.
