What Is Polyurethane?
Polyurethane is essentially a synthetic resin within which each polymer unit is linked together into urethane groups. This configuration creates an elastic polymer that can be molded to create a durable, flexible material. It’s a versatile material that is well-suited for use in casters and wheels. Durable and reliable, it can be used in a broad range of applications.
The wheels can be customized to incorporate slots, patterns, and grooves, as well as a full range of bearing types and sizes. It’s lightweight and capable of easily traversing any surface with the right amount of rebound energy required to facilitate a smooth, even motion. Further, the material is stronger and more durable than rubbers or thermoplastics and will provide long-lasting performance in the most challenging operational environments.
Key Benefits of Using Polyurethane Wheels
There are many reasons our customers rely on the precision-manufactured polyurethane wheels we manufacture. Some of the key benefits of our polyurethane products include:
-
Floor protection: Polyurethane wheels won’t scratch or damage flooring, making them ideal for use on wood, laminate, concrete, tile, and other surfaces.
-
Load capacity: Polyurethane wheels are exceptionally durable and can withstand heavier loads without deforming.
-
Traction and grip: The coefficient of friction between the floor and a polyurethane wheel is considerable. This means the wheel will deliver excellent traction while under any load. Moreover, the cushioned ride makes it easier to absorb bumps from obstructions or uneven flooring.
-
Noise reduction: Polyurethane wheels are nowhere near as noisy as steel, cast iron, and other harder wheel materials. As the wheel moves, the polyurethane cushions the movement and generates lower noise levels than comparable options.
-
Mold- and mildew-resistance: Polyurethane is inherently resistant to mold and mildew, making these wheels ideal for use in moist or humid environments.
-
Chemical resistance: Polyurethane wheels offer exceptional resistance to chemicals, solvents, moisture, and oils.
