I am tasked with designing a polyester film handling mechanism similar to the inner workings of a copier.

I am moving the material between opposing compression and friction rollers. The friction roller material must be able to grab and move the mateial at temperatures between
-40F and 130F. Is there any natural or man made plastic that will perform at these temperatures?
