PU Skateboard Wheels In Line with Nature

Deltron’s manufacturing subsidiary Elasco, Inc., which manufactures engineered plastics and polyurethanes, has prepared eco-friendly skateboard wheels for Sector 9, a manufacturer of skateboards and apparels. Elasco formulated and manufactured Biothane brand polyurethane wheels made with soybean-based polyols, which delivers similar performance as petroleum-based polyurethane. Polyols are produced from pressed soybeans with isocyanate and other ingredients to create new polymers. Soy-based polyol resins are claimed to reduce carbon emissions from the manufacturing process by 36%, require less energy to produce, and are free of volatile organic compounds.

Elasco provides complete design and manufacturing services, including prototype work, mold and tooling design, manufacturing, custom casting, plastic injection molding and proprietary polymer mixing.
