Coated fabric rolls are heavy, wide, and wound hard — a combination that punishes under-specified cores with crush, deflection, and flat-spotting in storage. NHPT specs wall and construction against your roll weight and hardness targets, so the core that leaves the winder is still round when the roll reaches your customer.
Wide webs need stiff cores
As web width grows, deflection becomes the enemy. Larger IDs and heavier walls keep the assembly stiff across the face — we will run the numbers against your widths.
Storage without flat spots
Rolls that rest on racks for weeks need cores that hold geometry. Construction and adhesive choices matter as much as wall thickness; our R&D team specs for your storage reality.
