A-safer plastic barrier

Kimberly Clark has upgraded safety standards across its international plants thanks to safety barrier specialist, A-Safe. Since trialling a section of double-rail traffic barrier on a paper pulping line in 2005, Kimberly Clark has appointed A-Safe as an approved supplier worldwide.

The polymer-based safety barrier systems provide the strength and durability of steel with the flexibility and reduced maintenance of plastic.

The plastic used has a special in-built memory, so any impact will be absorbed before the barrier automatically springs back to its original shape. Therefore, unlike steel alternatives, the A-Safe barrier does not need to be replaced or repaired each time it is hit.
