Testing shows this wheel lasts more than 2X as long as the popular green epoxy resin wheel used in these applications. It also shows 2.9X greater abrasion resistance than epoxy resin wheels.
1 Dynamic life comparative tests conducted to replicate field use in a Colson Group test facility. For one test cycle, products were heated to 475°F for 1 hour, allowed to cool to room temperature, and then durability tested under a 300-lb load for 320m. The product was then removed from the test and inspected. If no wheel failures occurred, the product test cycles were repeated until failure. The Heatwave wheel did not fail during testing, and after exceeding the competitive product life by 2X cycles. Testing of the Heatwave wheels was ended after exceeding 180 cycles without failure. Testing at other facilities may vary due to differences in equipment and flooring. Premium Colson Group rigs were used in all tests to ensure proper controls were in place. 2 Abrasion Resistance comparison test of abrasion resistance was performed in accordance with ASTM D5963 and ISO 4649 in a Colson Group test facility. Samples of the same size of Epoxy and Heatwave wheels were tested, Epoxy resin measured 654 cubic centimeters of material loss. The heatwave wheel measured 225 cubic centimeters of material loss.
