Phenolic wheels are popular among bakeries, food processors, and powder coaters. They are made using phenolic resin, created by mixing phenol with one or more fibre types and then used to make the wheels. This construction method offers numerous benefits to this type of wheel.
Phenolic wheels are highly resistant to temperature extremes and can withstand temperatures from -40°C to +120°C without melting or failing. Because of this resilience, they are commonly used in low-temperature applications such as fridges and freezers and high-temperature applications such as commercial ovens and autoclaves.
Phenolic wheels, with their remarkable resilience to chemical exposure, are a durable choice for harsh workplace conditions. They can withstand a variety of chemicals without degradation, including oils, solvents, and greases, ensuring their long-term use in environments with high chemical exposure.
Phenolic wheels, being lightweight, are an excellent choice for those who value ease of handling and maneuverability. Their polymer and fibre mix construction means they weigh less than other types of wheels, including steel and iron, while still being resistant to damage from debris and shocks.
