One of the more popular roll finishes is the Matte surface finish. This finish is often applied on heat transfer rolls resulting in a non-gloss appearance. An MP&P PreGrain Finish®, is also known as a Hard Matte Finish or Satin Finish. It’s roll that is a textured roll chrome plated. Whether dull or bright textured surface the surface is deposited with a thin layer of chrome. The silvery toned chromium plated surface feels slick to the touch while the surface retains the roughness of the blasted base metal, creating a textured surface with release. The finish formed from PreGrain creates air spaces between the roll and the product being finished and this significantly aids in the release from the roll surface.
