Calendering Manufacture Process

What is the Calendering Manufacture Process?

Calendering is a process of smoothing and compressing materials (notably paper) during production by passing a single continuous sheet through a number of pairs of heated rollers (called calenders).

Calendering can also used in the textiles industry by using calendering to obtain certain finishes. Calendering in terms of fabric is a finishing process where fabric is folded in half and passed through rollers which operate at high temperatures and pressures.
