Further Information-------

PU wheels are environmentally friendly tires. The main material of the tire is polyurethane. Strictly speaking, PU is also a kind of plastic: it has the advantages of thorough puncture resistance, no inflation, high strength, light weight and durability, moderate elasticity, and maintenance-free. 

The new type of non-inflatable tire is a tire that does not need to be inflated. It uses micro-closed-cell foaming technology to form a high-molecular polymer material into tiny air chambers that are not connected to each other and are filled with highly elastic sponge-like tires.

This kind of polymer material: On the one hand, it uses the three-dimensional network structure and permanent recoverability, which can still restore the original shape after being squeezed and stretched, so that the tire remains unchanged. On the other hand, it uses countless interconnections and independent The micro-closed cells make the tire have excellent elasticity and cushioning force, and can fully withstand tire pressure changes, so that the pu foamed wheelchair wheels remains strong enough at all times, just like a traditional inner tube fully inflated, making people still like riding a traditional tire So comfortable and lightweight.
