Hypalon Rollers & Molded Parts
Rol‑Tec in Green Bay, Wisconsin, is a top provider of Hypalon rubber rollers and Hypalon rubber molded parts, delivering durable, high-performance solutions for the chemical processing, automotive, electronics, and manufacturing sectors. With nearly 35 years of experience, our end‑to‑end in‑house capabilities—from compound selection through precision machining and coating—ensure exceptional quality and reliable delivery.
What Is Hypalon?
Hypalon, a chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) compound originally introduced by DuPont in the 1950s, is prized for its resistance to corrosive chemicals, extreme temperatures, ozone, UV radiation, and solvents. It can be blended with silicone or PTFE to enhance release and safety in demanding environments.
Hypalon is identified under trade names like HY, HA, CSM, and CSPE. Its exceptional resistance to acids, caustics, water, and solvents makes it well-suited for roller and part applications in aggressive conditions.
Custom Hypalon Rollers
Our Hypalon rubber rollers are tailored to support heavy‑duty industrial applications. We build rollers with diameters up to 31″ and lengths up to 280". They are ideal for use in chemical processing lines, where resistance to acids, alkalis, and solvents is essential, as well as in automotive plants, electronics handling, and industrial manufacturing.
Each roller is precision-engineered to specifications with attention to hardness, finish, textured surfaces, and core bonding. We utilize advanced rubber-to-metal bonding, laser engraving, dynamic balancing, and metalized coatings to ensure long-term performance.
Precision Hypalon Molded Parts
Rol‑Tec’s molding department offers Hypalon rubber molded parts through compression, transfer, extrusion, and open-cast processes. We also produce custom parts, including seals, gaskets, rollers, covers, and components for equipment in chemical plants, factories, and electronic assembly lines.
Benefits of mold‑made Hypalon parts include lightweight, excellent chemical resistance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. With low-volume prototyping and high-volume production capabilities, Rol‑Tec meets precise tolerances and design specs while optimizing tooling cost.
Hypalon Roller Re‑covering Services
Extend the lifespan of existing rollers with our roller re‑covering services using Hypalon compound. We inspect rollers, assess wear, and either perform precision “kiss-grinds” or strip and re‑cover cores with fresh Hypalon covers up to 31″ diameter and 280″ inches in length.
We also repair and rebore journals and bores, perform dynamic balancing, precision grinding, and reverse-engineering of unusable cores. Full in‑house control ensures fast turnaround and consistent, factory-quality results.
