Horizontal Grooved Paddle Rollers are essential tools for professional fibreglass laminating, resin consolidation and air-bubble removal during composite lay-up.
Designed with precision-cut horizontal grooves, these rollers efficiently force resin through glass matting, improving fibre wet-out while eliminating trapped air that weakens the laminate. Manufactured with a lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminium head and a comfortable ergonomic handle, they offer smooth rotation, excellent control and long-term reliability in resin-rich environments.
These rollers are widely used in marine fabrication, automotive composite repair, mould making, industrial FRP construction and any application requiring strong, void-free laminates. Available in 100mm, 150mm and 200mm widths, they provide the flexibility to work on small details, medium-sized moulds or large flat panels. Compared to standard mohair or metal laminating rollers, the horizontal groove design delivers superior air-release efficiency and reduces resin pooling, resulting in stronger, more uniform composite surfaces. When consistency, structural strength and efficiency matter, these paddle rollers are the preferred choice for composite professionals.

Product FAQs
Q1: What is the purpose of the horizontal grooves?
A1: The grooves push resin through the fibres and release trapped air for stronger laminates.
Q2: Can these be used with polyester and epoxy resins?
A2: Yes, they are fully compatible with both systems.
Q3: How do I clean the roller?
A3: Clean immediately with acetone or appropriate resin cleaner before curing.
Q4: Which size should I choose?
A4: 100mm for small areas and detail work, 150mm for general laminating, 200mm for large flat surfaces.
Q5: Are the rollers reusable?
A5: Yes, with proper cleaning they provide long service life.
Q6: Do they work on woven cloth?
A6: Yes, they effectively consolidate woven roving, CSM and stitched fabrics.
Q7: Are the bearings chemical-resistant?
A7: Yes, all moving components are suitable for resin environments.
