Arcotherm® TC100

Arcotherm TC100 is a hard, dense, wear resistant thermal transfer roller coating for use in heat and chill roll applications. The proprietary ceramic coating is formulated to withstand the abrasion, corrosion, scratching and marring present in the cast extrusion process. It also resists particle erosion and cavitations up to 500°F, providing efficient temperature control of the substrate being processed. This exclusive covering is twice the thickness of chrome. It can be produced in a variety of finishes, from near mirror (4 Ra microinches) to matte. The TC100’s excellent physical properties promote consistent, high quality output and reduce downtime, maintenance and waste associated with conventional coverings.
