Polyurethane Snow Plow Cutting Edges
Polyurethane snow plow cutting edges, as a key component of snow plow equipment, play an important role in winter road maintenance and snow clearing. Polyurethane snow plow cutting blades are more durable than other materials such as rubber, carbide, UHMW, or metal blades, increasing snow clearing efficiency, reducing equipment wear and tear, and minimizing damage to surface runway lights.

Polyurethane snow plow cutting edges is a component mounted on the front end of the snow plow to remove snow and is made of polyurethane elastomer material.
Polyurethane cutting edge plays a central role in snow plow equipment during winter snow clearing operations. It is tough and wear-resistant, and can withstand friction with snow, ice and ground for a long time; it also has good flexibility and is not easy to break when encountering obstacles. This makes it in the snow removal operation can quickly push away the road snow, to ensure smooth traffic and reduce traffic accidents. The reliable performance of polyurethane cutting edge reduces the failure and maintenance cost of snow plow equipment, improves the efficiency of snow clearing, and allows municipal, commercial and other types of snow clearing work to be carried out smoothly, which is of great significance to ensure the normal operation of social life in winter.
Performance Parameters of Polyurethane snow plow cutting blades
- Hardness: Typical hardness range is between 70 - 90 Shore A. This range of hardness allows the cutting edge to be rigid enough to cut through snow, yet flexible enough to adapt to different road conditions, avoiding brittle fracture due to excessive hardness.
- Tensile strength: Tensile strength of not less than 15 MPa. High tensile strength ensures that the cutting edge is not easily deformed or torn when pulled by external forces, maintaining structural integrity during snow clearing operations.
- Tear strength: Tear strength is more than 35 kN/m. Good tear strength ensures that the cutting edge will not easily tear when facing sharp objects or suffering from large external impacts, thus prolonging its service life.
- Wear resistance: Abrasion less than 0.15 cm³/1.61 km. Excellent wear resistance makes the cutting edge wear slowly when it frequently rubs against the ground and snow, greatly reducing the frequency of replacement and lowering the cost of use.
Dimensions of Polyurethane snow plow cutting blades
- Length: Common length specifications include 1200 mm, 1500 mm, 1800 mm, etc., which can be adapted according to the size of different snow plows and actual snow clearing needs.
- Width: The width is generally between 100 - 200 mm, the right width can provide enough cutting area to ensure the efficiency of snow clearing, while also taking into account the stability of the installation with the snow plow.
- Thickness: Thicknesses range from 20 - 50 mm, with different thicknesses suitable for different types of plows and snow clearing conditions, with thicker cutting edges typically used for more severe snow clearing conditions and heavier plows.
Physical Properties of Polyurethane snow plow cutting blades
- Color: Generally black or dark grey, this color is due to the characteristics of the polyurethane material and the production process, and the darker color is also more resistant to dirt, which makes it suitable for outdoor snow clearing environments.
- Density: The density is about 1.1 - 1.2 g/cm³, the moderate density makes the cutting edge to ensure the strength and at the same time, will not be too heavy to increase the burden of the snow plow equipment, which affects the operational flexibility and fuel economy.
- Weather Resistance: With good weather resistance, it can be used in extreme temperatures ranging from -40℃ to 60℃. Whether stored in cold northern winters or hot summers, the performance will not be significantly reduced due to temperature changes. Under the long-term action of UV rays, rain and other natural environmental factors, it can still maintain stable physical and chemical properties, ensuring reliable product quality.
