Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the -EZ suffix mean on the MI 50160101-XG-EZ?
A: The -EZ designation indicates a high traction polyurethane compound formulated for material handling equipment in wet floors and cold storage environments. EZ does not refer to installation ease.
Q: What is the difference between MI 50160101 and MI 50160101-XG-EZ?
A: The MI 50160101-XG-EZ features an X-groove tread profile with 87A Shore A durometer and high traction polyurethane, making it suitable for wet and cold storage applications. The standard MI 50160101 has standard tread and 92A durometer for dry indoor use.
Q: When should I use the MI 50160101-XG-EZ instead of the standard MI 50160101?
A: Use the MI 50160101-XG-EZ when operating equipment in wet floors, freezer environments, or cold storage facilities. The high traction compound and lower 87A durometer provide improved grip on slippery surfaces.
Q: Does the softer 87A durometer wear faster than the 92A?
A: The 87A durometer is softer for better traction but may show increased wear in high-friction dry environments. In wet and cold storage applications where grip is critical, the wear trade-off is justified for safety and performance.
