High Temperature Felts

Albarrie’s Defender™ Heat Felts are high temperature technical felts that protect the critical surface finish of aluminum, glass and steel products during their manufacture. Originally designed as a replacement for graphite in aluminum extrusion handling systems, our felt products have been steadily adopted by other industries thanks to their extremely durable heat and cut resistance. Defender™ products include an assortment of rollers, pads, belts, and spacer sleeves in a variety of technical felt materials including Kevlar®, Nomex® and PBO.

Our Defender™ felt pads are used in place of graphite on lead-out tables, conveyors, lift over arms and walking beams to protect surface finish and minimize marking. They’re available in a variety of high and low temperature felts in various thicknesses to suit your needs, in rolls or as cut pieces. Coatings and PSAs are available on most styles.

Reversible Bonded Kevlar® Boards
Made from 100% Dupont (USA) Kevlar® fiber
Available up to 2” thick

Our Defender™ roller covers offer an extremely uniform and seamless felt tube of unparalleled quality, thanks to the spiraled needlepunch process used in their fabrication. They’re ideal for protecting sensitive or surface-critical products from dents, scratches and marking caused by roller handling systems.

Albarrie’s separator rollers provide separation and protection of extruded aluminum on the lead-out and run-out tables. Typically used in place of graphite blocking and/or pins to separate profiles when using multi-cavity dies or for guiding profiles on the table.

Our Defender™ Spacer Bar Sleeves help protect sensitive or surface-critical materials, such as extruded aluminum, from dents and scratches during handling, stacking, storage and transport.

DuPont™ Nomex®, a revolutionary, heat- and flame-resistant fiber when used in a wide array of applications provides protection to millions of people and processes worldwide.  It is highly successful at protecting aluminum from scratching and marking throughout various stages of the extrusion process; thanks to its unique combination of heat protection and durability.

Our premium quality endless belts are counted on by the aluminum extrusion industry. Their truly endless design means there are no seams to fray or joints to separate, ensuring consistent protection and an extremely long lifespan. They’re produced under tension using an endless needlepunch process to offer minimal stretch and extreme durability at a range of temperatures.

These ultra high density compressed felt rollers offer the ultimate combination of quality, durability, and precision manufacturing. They are ideal for use in aluminum extrusion handling systems for lead-out and run-out tables and quench tanks in place of graphite or light weight roller covers.
