What are the characteristics of TPE casters?

TPE casters are environmentally friendly, offer excellent performance, and have a wide range of applications. The characteristics are as follows:

Environmentally friendly and non-toxic: TPE is a green, environmentally friendly material that complies with US FDA and EU ROHS certification standards. It is safe, non-toxic, recyclable, and environmentally friendly, making it suitable for applications requiring high hygiene standards, such as medical equipment and food processing equipment.

Excellent Performance:
Shock and Noise Reduction: TPE has excellent elasticity and shock absorption properties, effectively cushioning the impact of uneven surfaces and protecting equipment and cargo. Furthermore, it operates quietly without producing loud friction noise, making it suitable for use in locations requiring a quiet environment, such as hospitals and libraries.

Excellent Wear Resistance: By adding appropriate lubricating agents, the wear resistance of TPE casters is improved, allowing them to be used on a variety of surfaces and providing a long service life.

Strong Weather Resistance: TPE casters offer excellent weather resistance and can be used in a variety of temperatures and climates, generally within a temperature range of -50°C to 125°C. They are suitable for use in a variety of harsh environments, both indoors and outdoors.

Good Chemical Resistance: TPE casters are corrosion-resistant and chemically resistant, resistant to most chemical solvents, water, and steam. They are not easily corroded by chemicals, making them suitable for use in environments with a risk of chemical corrosion.

Non-Slip and Floor-Friendly: TPE casters offer high surface friction and excellent non-slip properties. Unlike rubber casters, they do not leach sulfur and carbon black, which damages floors and preserves their appearance and integrity.

Good Processability: TPE is injection moldable, eliminating the need for vulcanization and allowing for recycling, reducing costs. It can be overmolded, overcoated, and bonded to base materials such as PP, PE, and PC, or molded independently, offering high production efficiency and meeting the production needs of casters of various shapes and sizes.

Attractive appearance: TPE material has excellent colorability, allowing casters to be manufactured in various colors upon request. Its smooth surface and high transparency give the casters a more stylish and aesthetically pleasing appearance, meeting the needs of customers with high demands for product appearance.
