Benefits of PU rollers

PU rollers or polyurethane rollers offer a lot of more benefits than the rubber or metal rollers. They are better off from high resistance strength than the others to provide the following among other benefits.

1. Because of their high chemical and water resistance, they find applications in submerged or wet environments for a long time which could rot the rubber or corrode the metal
2. Offers a permanent set even while handling heavy items with rebound essential for conveyor, printing and driving rollers
3. As it offers excellent wear and abrasion resistant properties from combining high friction and dynamic loads, it lasts long to need fewer replacements
4. Enables manufacturing customized PU rollers as per the FDA approved formulations or for specific durometers for enough grip, high strength for all the wear and tear of many applications
5. With high tensile strength and elongation, they can handle more pounds per square inch with breaking apart or even rupturing
