On our website, we introduce our achievements in solving the challenges faced by theme parks. The wheels of high-speed roller coasters, which operate at speeds of 140 km/h and experience gravitational forces of 4G to 6G, inevitably suffer from internal damage due to heat buildup when made from standard polyurethane, leading to delamination or a decrease in surface hardness, resulting in a sticky state. Therefore, by adopting "VULKOLLAN," we developed wheels with extremely high load-bearing capacity, wear resistance, and heat resistance that can withstand high-speed rotation and heavy loads. Please take a look at our website. [Overview of Achievements] ■Challenges - There are no materials that can withstand high-speed roller coasters. ■Solutions - Developed wheels that can withstand high-speed rotation and heavy loads by adopting VULKOLLAN. - Implemented curing to the core material through injection molding, resulting in safer wheels. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
