Casters are essentially housings that include a wheel and a mounting to install the caster to objects(equipment, apparatus and more). Casters are found virtually everywhere, from office desk chairs to shipyards, and from hospital beds to automotive factories. They range in size from the very small furniture casters to massive industrial casters... Wheel materials include cast iron, plastic, rubber, polyurethane, polyolefin, nylon, thermoplastic rubber, forged steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and more.

OBS

Casters come in two main categories: a swivel caster pivots around a kingpin to allow it to rotate and roll. The rigid (also called "fixed") caster has its wheel mounted in a fixed frame ... and it only rolls forward and backward.

Hybrid powder coating is a mixture of epoxy and polyester, offering better heat and yellowing resistance than epoxy with some compromise in chemical resistance. Property wise, hybrid coating is more closely associated to epoxy than polyester,with a few notable exceptions. It is slightly softer, and the corrosion resistance is comparable to epoxy, but its resistance to solvents and alkali is genrally inferior.

OBS

Hybrid powder coating is applied the same way that epoxy powder coating is applied.

OBS

Typical hybrid applications include file cabinets, farm equipment, drawer slides, hot water heaters, shelving, oil filters, hospital furniture and fire extinguishers.
