How to prevent marks on sensitive steel finishes

Marks on sensitive steel finishes usually originate at the line's contact points. Reviewing support surfaces is the first step to protecting the material.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can felt help with existing marks?

If the marks come from an inadequate contact surface, replacing it with the right material is usually part of the solution. Review your case with our technical team.

What information should I document?

Point of the line, steel type, finish, and if possible a photograph of the affected material and the current contact surface.
