Application

Suitable to protect structural steel / concrete columns in industrial and commercial buildings.

Description

The P-FLEX Column Protection is an integrated system designed and manufactured to suit different types of columns or vertical structural elements. It’s typically 1100 mm high and is not attached to the column therefore offering a deflection zone without applying any force to a structural column upon impact.


Features and benefits:

  • P-FLEX High-Performance flexible protection technology designed to deflect, and safety absorb impacts.
  • Available in various heights and thicknesses.
  • Available in yellow (RAL 1021) as standard, and black (RAL 9004) with other non-standard colours available on request.
  • Bespoke branding available upon request.
  • Single 'hidden' steel threaded rod anchoring system.
  • Hygienic and easy to clean and maintain
  • Zero exposed steel or risk of exposed corrosion.
  • High resistance against acids, alkali, and solvents.
  • Typically 40% recycled polymer content.
  • 100% recyclable at end-of-life.
  • Tested to BS EN 1186-2:2002 and BS EN 1186-3:2002 for food contact.
  • Tested to BS EN ISO 4892-2:2014 for UV Resistance – Zero Discoloration.
