The plastic film that is used has a thickness of less than 100 ?m. At least one layer of the plastic film is made of polyethylene terephthalate having a thickness of greater than 19 ?m.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing device for installation in a roll arrangement between the roll journals of a roll and chock. The sealing device has an annular main body having sealing rims that extend radially outwards. Furthermore, the sealing device has an annular reinforcement element having a strip-like section which coaxially surrounds the main body on the outer side thereof. In order to ensure the dimensional stability and thus also the function of the sealing device even after the installation thereof in the roll arrangement, that is to say after said sealing device has been pushed onto the frustroconical roll journals, the reinforcement element according to the invention has, in addition to the coaxial strip-like section, at least one flange which is connected thereto and is connected to the sealing rim. Furthermore, the invention relates to said roll arrangement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roll arrangement for use in metallurgical technology, comprising a roll that has a roll barrel and two roll necks, and at least one neck bushing for accommodating at least one of the roll necks in a rotationally fixed manner. A carrier element that functions as a form-locking rotationally fixed connection is arranged between the roll neck and the neck bushing. In order to increase the load-bearing capacity of the roll bearing without increasing the size of or the mounting space for the roll bearing and at the same time ensure easy assembly, the roll neck is mounted in the neck bushing with some radial play such that a circumferential cavity is formed between the neck bushing and the roll neck in the unloaded stated as a result of the radial play. In order to increase the size of the cavity, the roll neck or the inner surface of the neck bushing additionally has a concave contour or profile.
