| Phenolic Wheel | Phenolic wheels are made by applying heat and pressure to layers of paper or glass cloth impregnated with synthetic resin. When heat and pressure are applied, a chemical reaction (polymerization) transforms the layers into a high-pressure, thermosetting, industrial-strength, laminated plastic. | ||
| Solid Polyurethane Wheel | The wheel is made of solid polyurethane. | ||
| Poly on Metal Wheel | The tread of made of polyurethane and the hub is made of metal, usually iron, aluminum, or stainless steel. | ||
