The roller industry uses a very wide range of elastomers, which is largely due to the numerous physical property requirements, as well as the exposure to a wide variety of chemicals seen during specific applications. Both of these factors are applicable when it comes to the market of rubber covered printing rollers.
When talking about “printing” roll compounds, we are specifically talking about compounds to be used in the printing process know as “offset printing”. Offset printing is a widely used printing technique where the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate first to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface (see diagram below).
