Polyurethane

Polyurethane is a versatile polymeric material valued for its combination of mechanical strength, elasticity, and long-term durability. In AVO Wheel treads, this technology provides non-marking surfaces that leave no traces on contact and protect floors even under intensive use.

Thanks to its high elasticity and abrasion resistance, Polyurethane ensures consistent performance even under impacts, heavy loads, or repeated stresses.

It is also characterized by excellent resistance to many aggressive chemicals and remarkable dimensional stability, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

The compact structure of the material minimizes starting and rolling resistance, improving trolley maneuverability and allowing higher operating speeds.

The Polyurethanes used by AVO are developed in-house by casting or injection processes, precisely combining various isocyanates, polyols, and cross-linking agents. The final properties result from careful raw material selection and strict control of reaction conditions, ensuring consistent quality and optimal performance in every application.
