The heart of Böttcher quality is the rubber compound formulation. Our scientists have worked to understand and improve the performance characteristics of compounds for years. Böttcher’s leadership in industrial roller coverings easily carries over to industrial applications.

Escalator Handrails

For example, escalator handrails require a similar flexibility and durability as printer rollers. Böttcher’s innovative new product, TechGrip, is a breakthrough in handrail technology. TechGrip combines new, specially-developed compounds with an improved sectional profile to build the most advance handrail system.

TechGrip handrails are extremely resistant to aging and ozone corrosion, and they operate longer without cracking or slipping. The use of high-quality elastomers reduces internal dynamic heating, and a low-friction slider requires less energy to operate. An innovative positioning of the fabric structures in the TechGrip handrail gives a new level of longitudinal flexibility and maximum dimensional stability, which helps the handrail preserve it’s shape and avoids accidental detachment.

And Böttcher TechGrip handrails are beautiful, with a glossy finish. Böttcher handrails look better, last longer, and have fewer breakdowns.
