Sidewall Protector Reduces Tire Damage

摘要

Argonics has developed a sidewall protector for wheel loader tires. The sidewall protector uses a proprietary urethane formulation, Kryptane, which was engineered for extreme conditions in applications involving abrasion, sliding, or impact, the company says. According to Argonics, the special elastic material in the sidewall protector "excels in preventing penetration of sharp objects, as well as in deflecting sharp objects." The protector is designed to change shape under impact, then return to its original shape. Urethane also offers maximum abrasion resistance, says Argonics, "which is ideal for situations where severe wear is a problem."
