Wheelchair, as a significant mobility tool for disabled person,  possesses low speed, driving stable and comfortable,  safety and long range, etc. Normally, its road condition is good with pavement like sement and asphalt or indoor floor.

The tyre is the only part touching the road surface, it makes the wheelchair move forward, backward and turn the driving direction. The tyre also should have enough load capacity to carry disabled person and drive a long range.

But we might ignore an important fuction or feature of wheelchair tyre - the puncture resistance which could hold the stablity and long range of wheelchair, thus the disabled persons feel safe and have enough time to reach their destination while the tyre is punctured by a nail or a sharp object.

It's obviously that the pucture resistance is very helpful to ensure wheelchair driving safe and comfortable. Then the question is how to achieve the pucture resistance of tyre?

Normally, there are polyreathane tyres, rubber tyres with gel adhesive inner liner to protect wheelchair's long range. As a specialist in polyreathane tyres for more than 10 years, Aleader Tire uses high performance raw materials and specific designed formula to achieve the pucture resistance of wheelchair tyre.

The material of Aleader wheelchair tyre is microcelluar elastomer foam. Under the scanning electron microscope(SEM),the unique open-cell foam structure of Aleader's PU tire is clearly visible.The distribution of the foam pores is uniform and stable,with most pore diameters rang- ing from 50 to 100 microns.These features contribute to the superior performance of Aleader tires.

And it's performance is not easy to be influenced by the air temperature, very stable in hot summer and cold winter.

If you want to meet the tire performances such as mileage or comfortablity and more, Aleader could adjust the tyre formula to reach your standards, which means it is suitable to do customization.

Some manufactures will put the polyreathane inside the rubber tires to make up the disadvantages of rubber tires - non pucture resistance.

Above all, the Aleader polyreathane tyres, including PU tyres and PU filled rubber tyres, could help you solve the puncture problem.
