Chemische Beständigkeit bei Rollen & Rädern
If castors or wheels are likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, their chemical resistance must be taken into account when selecting the right product.
If the wheels are likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, their chemical resistance must be taken into account when selecting the right products. The better we know the environmental conditions under which castors or wheels are to be used, the more precisely we can determine which product will be most suitable. This could prevent premature castor failure due to corrosion, surface changes, embrittlement, loss of strength, or lubricant leakage. Careful coordination of all components guarantees the maximum service life.
Important Factors in chemical resistance
First of all, the chemical substances and environmental influences present at the place of use must be identified. Important: The reaction of the materials depends on various factors, such as the contact time and concentration of the aggressive substances, as well as the humidity and temperature. A distinction is made between substances which are chemically resistant, partially resistant, or not resistant. Stainless-steel sheets, plastics and thermoplastic rubber exhibit good chemical resistance, for example.
In the table you will find an overview of the chemical resistance of our materials to various aggressive substances. The values shown in the table are for guidance only and do not apply to mixtures of chemicals. Please contact us in special cases – we will be happy to provide you with detailed advice!
