Key Features
- Fiberglass-reinforced plastic rods or posts (often 1–2 m tall); can be pultruded in bright fluorescent colors; easily drilled for reflectors, signs or lights; chemical-resistant resin that holds up to acids and salts.
Benefits
- Outstanding longevity in outdoor environments (will not rust or decay); high reflectivity when wrapped or painted (FRP’s non-conductive surface holds reflective materials well); remains stable in freeze-thaw cycles (no cracking).
Applications
- Roadside boundary posts, driveway or parking lot markers; delineators for pathways or pipelines; safety bollards around machinery; navigation aids in marine harbors (salt-spray environment).
Technical Specifications
- Custom lengths (typically 0.5–2 m) and diameters; pulled glass fibers provide tensile strength ~200–400 MPa. Can incorporate UV inhibitors and reflective elements per industry standards (e.g. Class A retroreflectivity).
Unique Selling Points (USPs)
- FRP markers “maintain their reflectivity and visibility over time” in low light and tolerate extreme elements. They offer superior impact resistance (bendable enough to absorb shocks) and are completely non-electric (no stray currents), making them ideal safety devices for railways, highways and utilities.
