4" x 3/8" Pro-Ultra Mini Roller w/ Frame

Pro-Ultra Woven Shed Resistant Polyester

• Interlocked Fiber Technology: Loom-woven fibers are locked directly into the backing, virtually eliminating fiber shedding into the paint film.
• Premium Stipple Control: Delivers a remarkably smooth, uniform finish with a tight stipple pattern that mimics a sprayed-on look.
• Unmatched Core Bonding: Fabric is thermally fused to a heavy-duty, solvent-resistant core to prevent delamination and tracking mid-project.
• Excellent Recovery: High-tensile fibers snap back to their original shape after pressure, preventing flattening during long painting sessions.
• Lint Free: Woven roller covers are 100% shed-resistant for high-gloss, pristine finishes

Ideal For

• High-Sheen Paints: Specifically engineered for semi-gloss, gloss, and satin finishes where lint contamination must be completely avoided.
• Smooth Surfaces: Optimally performs on smooth drywall, plaster, doors, trim, and cabinetry for a flawless, professional look.
• All Paint Chemistry: Highly compatible with both water-based (latex, acrylic) and standard oil-based paints, stains, and varnishes.

Limitations

• Lower Paint Capacity: Woven fabrics have a tighter, flatter profile that holds and releases less paint volume per dip than open-knit standard polyester.
• Slower Project Progression: Because it holds less paint, it requires more frequent trips back to the paint tray, increasing application time on massive walls.
• Not for Heavy Textures: The tight weave cannot reach deep into rough masonry, brick, or heavy stucco without causing premature fiber wear.

Key Differences from 100% Polyester

• Lint-Free vs. Prone to Shedding: This is the most critical difference. Woven roller covers are 100% shed-resistant for high-gloss, pristine finishes. Standard 100% polyester covers feature a loose knit structure that naturally sheds loose lint, making them a poor choice for shiny paints.
• Finish Quality vs. Speed: Woven fabric is built for a flawless, ultra-smooth finish at the cost of speed. Standard polyester is built for speed and heavy paint loading, sacrificing finish smoothness for fast, high-volume coverage.
• Price Point and Longevity: Woven shed-resistant covers are a premium, contractor-grade tool priced higher but built for repeated washing and reuse. Standard polyester is a budget-friendly, economical option often treated as disposable after a single project.
