Snowplow blades / Materials

Tungsten carbide

A hard metal which consists of the elements tungsten and carbon. It is characterised by its extreme hardness, which is close to that of a diamond. This material stands up to the toughest jobs.

 

Steel

This special wear-resistant steel is quenched and tempered to 400 Brinell and has a tensile strength of 1350 N/mm² (200000 P.S.I.). It stands up to the toughest jobs.

 

Corundum

The second-hardest mineral in the oxide category. It is especially suited for use as an inlay in highly abrasion resistant snowplow blades. Ceramic moulded parts are produced specifically for our various types of blades.

 

Polyurethane

Küprene is a high performance, versatile polyurethane used for Küprene snowplow blades. Very good physical properties, low wear and temperature resistant from -90 to +70º C.

 

Rubber

These grades of rubber were developed especially for extreme road requirements. They are extremely wear-resistant, flexible and elastic to adapt effectively to the surface of the road.
