Non-slip release coating for nip and idler rolls
Need a roll that grips the web but doesn’t pick up glue, coating or dust? XR100TC from AEGIS Advanced is a traction coating with release built in. For idlers that only need to stay clean, XR100T is our standard release coating. We apply both in our Elkton shop or on site.

Grip and release on the same roll
Most traction surfaces grip well when they’re new, then fill with dust, lint and adhesive and start to slip. Most release surfaces stay clean but let the web slide. XR100TC does both: a coarse tungsten carbide surface holds the web, and fluoropolymer built into it keeps buildup from sticking.
Which coating for which roll
| Roll | Needs | Coating |
|---|---|---|
| Driven nip rolls | Grip and release | XR100TC |
| Pull and traction rolls | Grip and release | XR100TC |
| Idler rolls | Stay clean, no grip needed | XR100T |
| Rolls running adhesive-coated webs | Strong release | XR100T or Fluor-XR |
| Knurled rolls | Keep the knurl clean | Release coating on the knurl |
XR100T is a release coating, not a traction coating. Knurling isn’t traction release either, but we do put release on knurled rolls so they stay clean.
Common questions
Is XR100TC the same as XR100T?
No. XR100TC is the traction coating, with release built in. XR100T is our standard release coating.
Will the coating mark the web?
Tell us the substrate and we’ll recommend the texture. The surface is set to grip without marking the web.
Can you coat rolls in place?
Large rolls can often be coated on site during a shutdown.
