Chemical Resistant Polyurethane Wheels
Our chemical resistant polyurethane wheels provides high resistance to hydrolysis and chemical abrasion, making them ideal for pharmaceutical, food processing, and automotive manufacturing applications.
Technical Information
Chemical Resistant Polyurethane Wheels are specifically engineered for harsh industrial environments. Utilizing specialized material formulations—typically high-performance polyester or modified polyurethane—these wheels maintain physical stability when exposed to various chemicals, solvents, acids, alkalis, and oils, effectively preventing swelling, softening, or premature degradation.

Key Performance Indicators
Feature | Technical Performance |
Chemical Resistance | Exceptional stability against mineral oils, greases, most petroleum-based solvents, weak acids, and alkalis. |
Mechanical Strength | High load-bearing capacity with minimal permanent deformation under sustained pressure. |
Wear & Tear Resistance | Significantly superior to natural rubber and standard plastics; offers high resistance to cutting and tearing. |
Hydrolysis Resistance | Formulated with specialized polyether-based PU for enhanced stability in humid or warm water environments. |
Technical Specifications & Classifications
1. Hardness Range:
Available from Shore 75A to 98A. Higher hardness correlates with lower rolling resistance and increased chemical permeability resistance.
2. Core Materials:
Stainless Steel Core (304/316): Ideal for pharmaceutical and food processing environments where corrosion prevention is critical.
High-Strength Nylon Core: Lightweight and offers excellent overall corrosion resistance.
Cast Iron/Steel Core: Treated with anti-corrosion coatings for heavy-duty industrial applications.
Applications
1. Laboratories & Pharmaceuticals: Frequent exposure to disinfectants, alcohols, and various experimental reagents.
2. Chemical & Electroplating Plants: Durable performance on floors contaminated with acid, alkali, or salt solutions.
3. Food Processing Industry: Resistant to animal/vegetable fats and high-pressure washdown procedures.
4. Semiconductor Manufacturing: Meets high cleanliness standards and withstands specific chemical cleaning media.
Maintenance & Selection Guidelines
1. Media Compatibility: Polyurethane performance varies by chemical type. Polyester-based PU offers superior oil resistance but lower hydrolysis stability; polyether-based PU provides the opposite. Always specify chemical composition and concentration during selection.
2. Temperature Impact: High concentrations of acids or alkalis can accelerate degradation at elevated temperatures. Use is recommended at ambient or controlled temperatures.
3. Static Protection: For explosive or flammable chemical environments, Anti-static or Conductive models are available upon request.
