What is thermoplastic rubber and how is it different from regular rubber?

Thermoplastic rubber (TPR) is a synthetic material that combines the elastic properties of vulcanized rubber with the processing advantages of thermoplastics. Unlike natural rubber, TPR can be recycled and remolded, offers better chemical resistance, and provides more consistent performance. TPR casters deliver excellent floor protection and quiet operation while resisting oils and many industrial chemicals.

Are thermoplastic rubber casters non-marking?

Yes, thermoplastic rubber casters are inherently non-marking and will not leave scuff marks or residue on flooring surfaces. This makes them an excellent choice for retail environments, hospitals, office buildings, and any facility where floor appearance must be maintained. TPR wheels roll smoothly and quietly on concrete, tile, vinyl, and hardwood surfaces.

What load capacity do TPR casters handle?

Thermoplastic rubber casters typically support load capacities ranging from 100 to 600 pounds per caster depending on wheel diameter, tread width, and bearing configuration. They are best suited for light to medium-duty applications including service carts, shelving units, medical equipment, and institutional furniture in commercial and industrial settings.

Can TPR casters withstand oil and chemical exposure?

TPR casters offer good resistance to many oils, greases, and common industrial chemicals, outperforming natural rubber in chemical environments. They resist degradation from petroleum-based products and most cleaning agents. For applications with heavy chemical exposure, contact Creative Coating Solutions to discuss the specific chemicals involved and get the best material recommendation.
