Xerium Technologies, a leading global provider of industrial consumable products and services, recently launched Hyperstar XLS roll cover technology.

Hyperstar XLS is the latest addition to the industry leading Hyperstar XL family of roll covers. Hyperstar XLS is specifically engineered to provide a softer cover option for heavier coat weight applications in film presses. In addition, due to its unique design, this cover delivers superior wear resistance compared to other similar-hardness roll covers. Hyperstar XLS also incorporates newly developed technology providing the smoothest cover finish of the XL cover family, Xerium said in a statement.

As the most ideal solution for all kinds of soft size press, film coaters, smoothing press, breaker stack, top and center press applications, Hyperstar XLS also offers outstanding film control and excellent mark resistance with extreme toughness to withstand damage from wads and wraps for hardness range.

Bill Butterfield, EVP and CTO of Xerium said, “The roll technology team is proud to unveil yet another step change in roll cover performance on these demanding heavy coat weight applications. Hyperstar XLS roll cover technology was developed to address our customers’ requests for a softer roll cover with increased run time between regrinds while reducing coating cost with improved film split performance.”

“Hyperstar XLS continues Xerium’s leadership in size press and film coating applications with its patented “XL” technology. We are continually striving for innovations enabling our customers to achieve new performance levels by applying our technology,” he added.

NYSE-listed Xerium Technologies is a leading global provider of industrial consumable products and services and has 27 manufacturing facilities in 12 countries around the world and employs approximately 3,200 employees.

Xerium utilizes a broad portfolio of patented and proprietary technologies to provide customers with tailored solutions and products integral to production, all designed to optimize performance and reduce operational costs. (GK)
