The materials finished by this equipment range from high gloss coated publication papers to parachute cloth and surgical gowns. Sold as die cut circles ready to fill on roll shafts.
Coated paper is used in applications such as magazine paper and corporate reports.
Rolls in a supercalender are alternating combinations of fiber-filled and heated steel rolls, under pressure, creating a nip process that is similar to ironing that gives coated paper its glossy finish.
