POLYPROPYLENE CASTORS

Technica offers a wide range of Polypropylene castors designed to meet the needs of various applications in multiple industries. Polypropylene is an excellent choice for the tread and/or hub center due to its exceptional properties. Castors and wheel centers constructed from polypropylene are highly resistant to fractures, effectively dampen vibrations, and boast impressive load-bearing capacity. 

Polypropylene is known for its durability and chemical resistance, making it a popular choice for castor construction. Moreover, these castors are cost-effective compared to castors made from other materials with similar properties. Technica  have gained a reputation for quality, durability, and reliability without compromise. Our commitment is to provide customers with exceptional value for money, ensuring satisfaction and trust in our products.

Durability:

Polypropylene is a robust material that provides excellent resistance to wear, impacts, and abrasions. This makes polypropylene castors highly durable and suitable for demanding applications.

Non marking tread :

Polypropylene castors benefit from non-marking properties to prevent leaving marks or scuffs on the floor surface. The non-marking tread is especially beneficial in environments where floor cleanliness and aesthetics are important, such as hospitals, offices, schools, and residential areas. It ensures that the castors do not leave unsightly marks or damage the flooring during movement.

Chemical resistance:

Polypropylene is resistant to many organic solvents, chemicals, oils, and acids, making it ideal for environments where exposure to such substances is common. This resistance helps prevent damage and deterioration of the castors over time.

Fracture resistance:

Castors made from polypropylene are less prone to fractures or cracking, even under heavy loads or sudden impacts. This ensures the longevity and reliability of the castors in various industrial and commercial settings.

Vibration and noise dampening:

Polypropylene has inherent vibration and noise dampening properties, reducing the transmission of vibrations and minimizing noise during movement. This feature makes polypropylene castors suitable for environments where noise reduction is important, such as hospitals, offices, or residential areas.

High load capacity:

Due to the high tensile strength of the material, polypropylene castors are capable of handling substantial weight loads. They can efficiently support and transport heavy equipment, machinery, or goods without compromising their performance or structural integrity.

Cost-effective:

Compared to similar materials, polypropylene is a cost-effective choice for castor construction. It offers a balance between performance and affordability, making polypropylene castors an economical option without sacrificing quality.

Lightweight:

Polypropylene is a lightweight material, which contributes to the overall weight reduction of the castors. This lightweight characteristic makes them easier to maneuver, reduces strain on operators, and enhances overall mobility.

Easy to clean and maintain:

Polypropylene castors are easy to clean and maintain. The smooth surface of polypropylene resists dirt and grime buildup, allowing for effortless cleaning and upkeep, which is particularly beneficial in environments that require high levels of cleanliness.
