What is a PU wheel and what are its characteristics

In recent years, China’s PU industry has developed rapidly, with PU as the wheel surface material casters are also widely used.PU wheels are environmentally friendly casters, the main material is polyurethane, strictly speaking, PU is also a kind of plastic, just in the production process to increase the additives, so it leads to a superior performance. With puncture resistance, high cost, good grip, not easy to slip, more wear-resistant, good comfort performance.PU wheel as one of the most widely used casters, has the following characteristics:
1. Strong abrasion resistance: the main material of PU wheel, polyurethane, has strong abrasion resistance, and can be used in a variety of different ground conditions, including cement, wooden floors, carpets, plastics, etc., with a wide range of applications.
2. Low noise: Compared with traditional rubber wheels, PU wheels produce lower noise during traveling, which can reduce the interference of environmental noise to people.
3. Good compression resistance: PU wheels have high compression resistance, can withstand large weight, and are not easy to deform when carrying heavy loads, so they can be used for equipment and tools that need to withstand large loads.
4. Corrosion resistance: PU wheel surface is not easy to be corroded and oxidized, even if used in a humid environment will not affect its performance, so it is suitable for use in a variety of different working environments.
5. High elasticity: PU wheels have very high elasticity, so they can travel freely on different surfaces, avoiding shaking and vibration caused by the undulation of the road surface, which improves the comfort and safety of use.
6. Low maintenance cost: PU wheels have lower maintenance cost compared with casters made of other materials, because the material is stronger, not easy to wear and damage, so it can reduce the number of times and cost of replacing the wheels.
