Abstract
Abstract A supercalendering apparatus for smoothing the surface of a web by passing it through the nip between a metal roll and an elastic roll is disclosed. The elastic roll is composed of a core metal roll having a first coating made of a fibrous material wound about the core roll and an inorganic filler loaded epoxy resin impregnated in the fibrous material, and a second coating of an inorganic filler loaded epoxy resin formed on the first coating.
