The wear resistance of casters is closely related to the material they are made of. Different materials have different characteristics, corresponding to different use scenarios, the following to see the characteristics of different materials:
Plastic casters: Although they have the advantages of low cost, light weight and good insulation performance, their wear resistance is relatively poor, generally applicable to light equipment or furniture.
Nylon casters: have high strength and stiffness, and at the same time have a certain degree of wear resistance. In a dry environment, nylon casters have good abrasion resistance, but in a wet environment, the abrasion resistance will be significantly reduced.
Rubber casters: rubber casters are a general-purpose wear-resistant material that is waterproof, oil-proof, UV-resistant, shock-absorbing, and anti-static. It can be used on a variety of floors, including cement floors, flooring, asphalt pavement, etc. When used on concrete floors, rubber casters have good abrasion resistance and anti-slip properties, and will not cause excessive wear and scratches on the floor.
Polyurethane Casters: Polyurethane casters have excellent abrasion resistance, oil resistance and chemical resistance. The polyurethane material has good elasticity to absorb impact and reduce the risk of equipment damage. It can be used on a variety of floors, including concrete floors, wood floors, floor tiles, etc. When used on concrete floors, polyurethane casters have good abrasion resistance, which can effectively reduce wear and scratches on the floor.
Polypropylene Casters: Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic resin made by polymerizing propylene. Polypropylene casters have excellent abrasion resistance and can be used for long periods of time on a variety of complex surfaces. In addition, polypropylene casters have good impact resistance and can withstand large impacts when carrying heavy loads or encountering unexpected situations. At the same time, its non-slip performance is also very good, whether in the dry or wet ground has a good friction, polypropylene casters of these characteristics make it become the ideal choice in the field of logistics equipment, furniture, medical equipment and so on.
In summary, casters made of different materials have different wear resistance characteristics. When choosing casters, you need to choose the right material according to the specific use of the environment and demand to ensure that the casters have good wear resistance and service life.
