Urethane Rollers
Urethane rollers are cylindrical tubes used in industrial equipment to move machine components and products. Urethane rollers are used in printing presses, in labeling machines, and as ink rollers.
Urethane rollers are also used as car wash rollers, wheels, casters, on boat trailers, and in conveyor systems.
Urethane is a thermoplastic polymer and an economical alternative to natural rubber or silicone. Urethane is used in applications in which resistance to extreme temperatures, abrasion, and wear is desired.
Urethane rollers can absorb shock and are resistant to cuts. In addition to their lower original cost, polyurethane rollers will often outperform other metals, plastics, and natural rubbers. Shapes, colors, and degrees of hardness vary from one design to another.
