“The calender is a series of hard pressure rollers at the end of a papermaking process (on-line). Those that are used separate from the process (off-line) are also called "supercalenders". The purpose of a calender is to smooth out the paper for printing and writing on it, and to increase the gloss on the surface.”

***********************************************

PVC calendering is a more complicated technique, requiring a hot mixer and a fusion machine like kneading to complete the gelling stage. This step is followed by feeding the PVC into the Calender rolls to be PVC sheet. Calendering sheet can be treated, either mechanically or chemically. This process can produce rigid sheets, soft sheets, PVC film, sponge sheets, artificial leather and others.
