PU Caster Wheel are very popular industrial caster wheels. PU is commonly known as a superior glue; it is also known as polyurethane or isocyanate polymer. A PU caster is an elastomer between plastic and rubber. It has properties that are not found in ordinary plastics and rubber. These properties make PU very suitable for use as a caster material.
1. What are the characteristics of PU casters?
The elastomer in a PU caster performs well in terms of wear resistance, chemical resistance, strength, elasticity, pressure resistance, shock absorption, tear resistance, radiation resistance, load bearing, and shock absorption.
PU casters are available in a wide range of hardnesses. The general specifications are from Shore A10-100. At present, there are products beyond Shore A100 and above.
PU casters perform well in terms of shock absorption. They also resist impact better than metal springs do, and they do not hurt the mold.
In addition, the PU wheel has excellent sound absorption performance. The wheel does not generate noise during movement, and a mute effect can be achieved.
2. Method of processing PU casters
The elastomer in PU casters can be molded, mixed, vulcanized (MPU) like general rubber or liquid rubber, cast-molded or spray-coated, potted, or centrifugal-molded (referring to CPU). Similar to ordinary plastic, PU casters can also be made into pelletized material, which is formed by injection, extrusion, calendering, blow-molding, etc. Molded or injection-molded parts can be machined by cutting, grinding, drilling, etc. within a defined hardness scale. The variety of processing options has greatly broadened the scope of use for PU elastomers.pelletized material, which is formed by injection, extrusion, calendering, blow-molding, etc. Molded or injection-molded parts can be machined by cutting, grinding, drilling, etc. within a defined hardness scale.

3. PU caster environment
PU casters are suitable for use on a variety of surfaces. They are widely used in the medical industry, the food processing industry, factory handling, warehousing and logistics, machinery manufacturing, etc. The operating temperature range is between -35 and 80 °C.
