What material is the nylon wheel made of? Of course, it is polytetrachloroethylene. Many manufacturers now call casters made of plastic materials as nylon wheels in order to save costs. Since nylon is more than twice the price of plastic, the price difference between the two is also very large. Casters made of plastic materials are very similar to nylon in terms of color and appearance, and can even be said to be exactly the same. Based on cost-saving considerations, we only value price but not quality.

In order to let everyone try to avoid being fooled, we specially show some of the characteristics of nylon wheels. Generally speaking, the color of the finished nylon wheel is light yellow or milky white. Because nylon is a polymer material, it has high mechanical strength and can reach the strength of metal materials. A very simple identification method is to hit it with a hammer and test its hardness. If the wheel you buy is hard enough, then it is a nylon wheel, otherwise, if it is very soft, then it is a plastic wheel.
