What are Polyurethane Wheels?
Polyurethane wheels are constructed from molded urethane, commonly known as polyurethane. Urethane is an elastomer characterized by urethane carbamate linkages and is derived from the term “elastic polymer.”
Polyurethane wheels have already demonstrated their unique advantages and development potential in a number of fields. From the point of view of production and consumption, the market share of polyurethane wheels is growing continuously, thanks to its excellent performance characteristics and wide range of applications.
Polyurethane wheels can be categorized into traction wheels, forklift wheels, guide wheels, etc., according to different product types, and these wheels are widely used in the automotive industry, food service, aerospace, material handling, and other fields. Among them, cast polyurethane wheels are increasingly favored by companies due to their good elasticity, excellent shock absorption, strong grip, non-slip, more wear-resistant, and good comfort performance. Compared with traditional nylon wheels, polyurethane wheels have longer service life and better durability.
Urethane wheels combine the benefits of metal, plastic, and rubber wheels. They offer greater cost optimization, enhanced flexibility, superior noise reduction, higher resilience, and improved resistance to impact, abrasion, and corrosion compared to metal wheels.
In terms of low temperatures, impact resistance, cold flow, abrasion resistance, and radiation resistance, urethane outperforms plastic. Urethane wheels also excel in noise reduction, resilience, elastic memory, and cost-effectiveness compared to plastic. Additionally, urethane surpasses rubber due to its wider range of hardness options, ease of customization, and superior impact resistance.
