Classification and Materials of the Water-Sucking Strips for Manual Floor Scrubbers
Release time:2019-02-22
The water-absorbing strip is a crucial component of floor scrubbers, serving to make contact with the floor and create a sealed space that allows the vacuum fan to collect wastewater from the floor surface. Thus, the quality of the water-absorbing strip on a push-type floor scrubber directly affects the cleanliness and hygiene of the floor. Now, let’s follow along with our editor to learn how to distinguish and select high-quality water-absorbing strips for push-type floor scrubbers! Water-absorbing strips for floor scrubbers are not simply made from ordinary rubber materials. There are three main types of materials used for these strips: natural rubber, rust-resistant latex, and polyurethane. Each material has its own unique properties, determining the specific applications of the water-absorbing strip. Low-quality water-absorbing strips are typically made from ordinary rubber, which results in lower hardness.
The water-absorbing strip is a crucial component of floor scrubbers, serving as the interface between the machine and the floor to create a sealed space that allows the vacuum fan to efficiently collect wastewater from the floor surface. As such, the quality of the water-absorbing strip on a push-type floor scrubber directly affects the cleanliness and hygiene of the floor. Now, let’s join us as we explore how to distinguish and select the right water-absorbing strip for your push-type floor scrubber!
The water-absorbing strips used in floor scrubbers are not made solely from ordinary rubber materials. Floor scrubber strip materials fall into three categories: natural rubber, rust-resistant latex, and polyurethane. Different materials determine the distinct applications of these water-absorbing strips.
The low-quality water-absorbing strip is made from ordinary rubber material and has a relatively hard texture, resulting in incomplete sewage recovery and faster wear.
High-quality water-absorbing strips are made from high-performance materials such as natural rubber and imported polyurethane, featuring moderate hardness and offering excellent properties including tear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, oil resistance, strong water-wiping performance, and resistance to wear.
Water-absorbing sealing strips come in two types: oil-resistant and standard, non-oil-resistant. If the floor is exposed to oil, it’s best to choose oil-resistant sealing strips. Oil-resistant sealing strips are slightly harder and can withstand the corrosive effects of oil, but they have poorer abrasion resistance.
