TPR caster wheels feature

  • 10 Dec / 2019

Common casters such as shelf wheels, cart wheels, etc. are made of hard plastic (such as PP, PA) and soft plastic (such as tpr, TPE, PU, ​​EVA, TPU). Hard plastic is used as the hub material of the caster to support the weight Soft rubber plays the role of anti-slip, shock absorption and noise reduction.

At present, tpr caster wheels manufacturers generally use copolymerized PP as the main plastic, and some use PA, and TPE for soft plastics. The market demand for tpr accounts for a large proportion. The processing and molding of this type of caster usually uses two Step injection molding. That is----the first step is to inject the hard plastic part PP or PA. The second step is to put the formed hard plastic part in another set of molds and fix the position, and then injection the soft plastic TPR To the place where the hard plastic parts need to be covered.
TPR wheels have many advantages
1. Hardness 55A-95A
2. Quiet operation without noise interference
3. Excellent adhesion with PP
4.Good shock absorption and non-slip wear resistance
5.High load bearing, high wear resistance and high resilience
6.Good UV resistance and chemical resistance
7. No marks are left on the floor, unlike the rubber wheels which will have sulfur and carbon black precipitation
8. Excellent abrasion resistance and anti-pulling elasticity, UV resistance and ozone resistance
9.Good weather resistance without erosion, can be used in various harsh and extreme environments indoors and outdoors
10. Wide temperature resistance range, allowing long-term use temperature range between -50 to 115 ℃
Due to above features TPR caster wheels have widely used on hospital trolley,medical bed,Hotel,and factories.
