Physical Protection
Flexible structures, minimal impact, maximum protection
Operational challenge
In dynamic industrial environments with heavy equipment traffic, accidents caused by collisions with racks, doors, equipment, or personnel occur frequently. Traditional rigid (metal) protections not only deteriorate quickly upon impact, but can also aggravate damage or injuries through ricochet or violent deformation.
State-of-the-art flexible protections
Kardynal offers a modular system of physical protections made of high-strength flexible composite materials that absorb impact energy, allowing for reversible deformation while directing the force toward the protected structure. The elastic deformation factor is designed to provide the desired impact force absorption while remaining within safe physical deformation limits.
Main technical features
- ✓Shape memory polymer material, tested for energy absorption in multiple impacts
- ✓Modular design – bars, posts, corner protectors, doors, shelves, panels, pedestrian areas
- ✓Professional anchoring in industrial flooring with controlled expansion
- ✓Possibility of quick replacement of damaged components
- ✓Resistance to chemicals, UV rays, and industrial temperatures from -40°C to +60°
Common applications
- ✓ Protection for shelves and pallets
- ✓ Separation fences between routes
- ✓ Protective areas for personnel
- ✓ Delimitations around rapid doors or machinery
