All About the Water-Sucking Strips on Manual Floor Scrubbers
Release time:2019-05-20
The water-absorbing strips used in floor scrubbers are not made solely from ordinary rubber materials. There are three main types of materials for these strips: natural rubber, rust-resistant latex, and polyurethane. The different materials determine the various applications of these water-absorbing strips.
The water-absorbing strip is a crucial component of floor scrubbers, specifically the water-squeegee. Its function is to make contact with the floor surface, creating a sealed space that allows the vacuum fan to efficiently collect wastewater from the floor. 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 follow along with our editor to learn 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. There are three main types of materials used for these strips: natural rubber, rust-resistant latex, and polyurethane. The different materials determine the distinct applications of these water-absorbing strips.
Low-quality water-absorbing strips are made from ordinary rubber materials with relatively high hardness, leading to incomplete sewage recovery and faster wear. High-quality water-absorbing strips, on the other hand, are crafted from high-performance materials such as natural rubber and imported polyurethane, featuring moderate hardness and offering excellent properties including tear resistance, acid-alkali resistance, oil resistance, strong water-squeegeeing capability, and resistance to wear.
Water-absorbing strips come in two types: oil-resistant and standard, non-oil-resistant.
For situations where there is oil on the ground, oil-resistant rubber strips are more suitable.
The oil-resistant rubber strip is slightly harder and can withstand corrosion from oils, but it has poorer wear resistance.
