Rubber casters are an excellent caster choice when there are a lot of potential issues that need to be avoided in a facility. This includes anything from slippery flooring to bumpy floors that increase impact and shock the cart or caster. Our rubber-tread casters are available in over five types of rubber, including elastic rubber, heat-resistant silicone rubber, and thermoplastic rubber.
Elastic Rubber: Elastic rubber is a type of rubber made from elastomers. Elastic rubber is well known for its elasticity, allowing it to stretch and return to its original form, without damaging the polymer bonds. Due to their flexibility, elastic rubber casters are also great at absorbing shocks and vibrations. This is because as weight distribution shifts, the caster compresses, softens the impact, and absorbs the vibrations, rather than passing them onto the cart.
Heat-Resistant Silicone Rubber: Heat-resistant silicone rubber is a type of rubber that is composed of silicone polymers. As the name implies, caster wheel treads made from heat-resistant silicone have low thermal conductivity. This means that silicone rubber casters transfer heat at a much slower rate than other casters, so they retain their temperature longer in high-heat environments, like ovens. This is very beneficial for certain applications where heat is an issue, because heat-resistant silicone casters retain their structure, rather than melting or breaking. Silicone rubber casters also resist many substances like moisture, oils, chemicals, and solvents. This makes them a dependable option for healthcare, pharmaceutical, and electronic applications.
Thermoplastic Rubber: Thermoplastic rubber (TPE) is a type of rubber that has characteristics of both rubber and plastic. Like plastic, thermoplastic rubber can be heated and molded into different forms, then cooled to set the product into its desired shape. Thermoplastic rubber also has high elasticity, like other rubbers, making it great for cushioning casters from impact. Thermoplastic rubber casters can also vary in hardness, making them extremely customizable.
