New plastic Armco

Safety barrier specialist, A-Safe is launching a new Armco barrier made entirely from plastic. The company uses an innovative blend of polypropylene to create a high impact absorption range of safety barriers, and it is this method which will be applied to its new Armco barriers.

James Smith, MD A-Safe, said: "Steel has long been associated with Armco barriers, however steel may be strong, but its rigidity is its downfall. If you were to drive into something which doesn't offer any give when you hit it, the force of the impact will cause greater damage to you, your vehicle and the object. The solution to this is to offer flexibility as well as strength and impact absorption in barriers, which ASafe's Armco provides."
