Where marks come from
During processing, the strip comes into contact with different support surfaces. If those surfaces are inadequate, worn or not uniform, the risk of scratches and marks increases.
- Worn or damaged contact surfaces
- Irregular support across the strip width
- Materials not suited to the processed finish
The role of industrial felt and carpet
Industrial felt and carpet provide uniform contact surfaces that help reduce marks and surface damage. Selecting the right material for each point of the line is key to protecting sensitive finishes.
What to do if you already see marks
Document the point of the line where they appear, the steel type and the affected finish, and share the information with our team. With that data we can review the application and propose a solution.
