What is TPR material
Oct 29 , 2020What is TPR material
TPR material, also called thermoplastic rubber, is a material that has both plastic and rubber characteristics. The performance of TPR is similar to that of vulcanized rubber, but it does not require vulcanization and can be recycled and reused. It is a relatively new environmentally friendly material and is very suitable for injection molding.
Advantages of TPR materials in production
1. TPR material has a shorter cycle time than thermosetting rubber
2. It can be processed on traditional plastic injection machines
3. It can be made into multiple colors or transparent
4. TPR can be co-molded or co-extruded with other types of hard plastics
5. It can be mixed for a variety of physical and chemical properties
The advantages of TPR material on casters
1. Lightweight material
2. Good slip resistance
3. High rebound
4. Strong wear resistance
5. Strong seismic performance and low operating noise
TPR material casters in daily application
In view of the various advantages and characteristics of TPR materials, caster wheels are usually reflected in light duty caster wheels, medium duty caster wheels, and some heavy duty caster wheels, furniture caster wheels and medical caster wheels. Because the texture is usually relatively soft, the caster made of it is generally not heavy loaded. When used as furniture casters and some industrial casters, it can protect the floor and reduce noise. When used as medical caster wheels, it can reduce the vibration caused by the movement of patients and medical equipment, reduce patient discomfort, extend the service life of the equipment, and create a quiet and comfortable environment for the majority of doctors and patients.
