Various casters (hardware, furniture, industry) in daily life, such as stroller casters, luggage casters, industrial shelf casters, etc., are generally made of rubber, foamed EVA, PU and other materials. Rolling friction noise on the ground is loud. This makes the already impetuous society even more noisy and noisy.
Compared with the daily casters, the casters used in the medical industry have no unpleasant smell, and there is no sound when rubbing against the ground, which fully meets the relevant requirements of the medical industry. What is the secret here?
It turns out that medical casters use an environmentally friendly, non-toxic and odorless thermoplastic elastic TPE/TPU (abbreviation: polyurethane) as the material for the outer skin of the caster. TPU products have outstanding bearing capacity, impact resistance and shock absorption performance, so they are the first choice for the outer lining of medical casters.
Many stroller casters are made of vulcanized rubber or EVA foam material, which has a strong smell and is a concern for environmental protection and safety. Many industrial casters and luggage casters use PU as the tread material. Although they have strong wear resistance, due to the high frictional resistance with the ground, the noise is too loud during the rolling process.
However, the environmentally friendly TPE/TPU material does not add phthalate plasticizers, sulfur, DCP and other toxic cross-linking agents during the manufacturing process, and is a completely non-toxic material. Moreover, the TPE/TPU thermoplastic elastomer material has a relatively supple molecular chain structure, and the friction coefficient in contact with the ground is small, and there is basically no sound when it rubs against the ground. At the same time, the special styrene-butadiene block structure of TPE/TPU material ensures that the material has high strength and wear resistance. The secret of “environmentally friendly and silent” medical casters lies in this.
This type of silent caster is not only used in the medical industry, but also popular in some high-end restaurants, airport waiting halls and other places.
With humanized design, exquisite workmanship, beautiful wheel shape and reliable quality, SKERI casters have won the favor of many well-known hospitals and medical institutions. Since the establishment of the company, tens of millions of SKRI casters have been used by more than one million medical institutions, creating a more convenient and safe working environment for the majority of medical staff. Sikri casters have gradually become the preferred caster brand for medical institutions.
