1. Excellent Shock Absorption: Soft, elastic TPE effectively absorbs vibrations and impacts, protecting cargo and ensuring smoother movement.
2. Quiet Operation: Generates significantly less noise than hard plastic or metal wheels, ideal for noise-sensitive environments (e.g., hospitals, libraries, offices).
3. Superior Traction/Grip: Provides high friction for better grip and slip resistance on smooth surfaces (tile, wood floors), making pushing easier and safer.
4. Floor Protection: Soft TPE surface minimizes scratching or scuffing of delicate floors like hardwood, laminate, or tile.
5. Balanced Performance: Offers a good combination of elasticity, wear resistance, (some grades offer) weather resistance, and cost-effectiveness.
6. Eco-Friendly & Processable:Often recyclable and easily molded (e.g., injection molding) for efficient, cost-controlled production.
In short: TPE casters deliver key benefits of quietness, cushioning, slip resistance, and floor protection, making them an ideal solution for indoor applications.
