One of India’s biggest textile machinery marketers, A.T.E. Enterprises has partnered with HMSU Rollers (India) Private Limited, Ahmedabad, to offer superior quality rubber compounds. “The essential requirements of roller coverings are their chemical resistance and the preciseness of both the formulation of the applied compound and also the rollers’ finishing,” A.T.E. said in a press release. “This is particularly so in specialty applications like textile wet and dry finishing and sizing,” the Mumbai-based textile technologies marketer explained. “Furthermore, a covering’s durability is a key element for a customer so as to increase the cost-effectiveness,” A.T.E. observed.
