Rubber coating of wheels improves their performance and lifespan
Rubber coating of wheels is a process that significantly enhances their performance in various applications. This process involves covering the wheel surface with a layer of rubber, which provides better traction, resistance to wear, and increases the overall lifespan of the wheels.
At LUSIK TRADE, we offer high-quality wheel rubber coating services that meet even the most demanding requirements of our customers.
Advantages of rubber coating wheels
Rubber coating of wheels offers numerous benefits that enhance their utility and quality properties. The main advantages include:
- Improved traction: Rubber-coated wheels provide better traction on various surfaces, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
- Wear resistance: Rubber is resistant to wear, meaning that the wheels last longer and require less frequent maintenance or replacement.
- Protection against damage: Rubber coating protects wheels from physical damage such as scratches, cracks, and other mechanical impacts.
- Noise reduction: Rubber has damping properties that reduce noise during wheel operation, contributing to a quieter and more comfortable environment.
- Versatility: Rubber-coated wheels are suitable for various applications and surfaces, making them ideal for a wide range of industrial uses.
The process of rubber coating wheels
Rubber coating of wheels involves several steps that ensure a high-quality and durable result. In brief, the process is as follows:
- Surface preparation: The rubber coating process begins with thorough cleaning and preparation of the wheel surface. This step involves removing dirt, oils, and other contaminants that could affect the adhesion of the rubber.
- Application of the rubber coating: After surface preparation, a layer of rubber is applied to the wheel. This step can involve various application techniques, such as spraying, dipping, or rolling, depending on the specific requirements and type of wheel.
- Rubber vulcanization: After applying the rubber coating, the wheel undergoes a vulcanization process, which ensures that the rubber firmly adheres to the wheel’s surface and achieves its final mechanical properties.
- Quality control: The rubber coating process concludes with a quality check to ensure that all performance and durability requirements are met.
Rubber coating of wheels – where is it applied and used?
