Friction calendering of rubber compounds is a process utilizing heated, rotating rollers (often three or more) to force the rubber compound “into” the interstices of the woven fabric. By using differential surface speeds of rolls, the rubber compound is embedded “into” the fabric for stronger adhesion. Roll speed differential creates a wiping action, driving the rubber compound deep into the fabric, increasing strength and durability.

Friction calendering is commonly used to create products for conveyor belts, hoses, and tire components where a tight bond between rubber compound and fabric is critical.
