Industrial safety barriers, safety railings, bollards ...
A-SAFE is a leading global provider of workplace safety solutions. Since 1984, they have introduced top-notch solutions that protect people and assets across various sectors worldwide.
Innovation has been key for A-SAFE from the very beginning, as the company invented and manufactured the world's first industrial-strength polymer safety system. The company continues to pioneer technological safety solutions for workplaces, supplying warehouses, factories, airports, parking facilities, and other industrial environments globally.
Why are polymer barriers better than steel barriers?
When it comes to workplace safety solutions, there is often a dilemma between using advanced polymer materials and steel. Here are some key advantages of advanced polymer technology compared to steel:
Impact Absorption
A-SAFE: Designed to absorb and disperse kinetic energy upon impact, reducing the risk of damage to floors, vehicles, and equipment.
Steel: Steel barriers typically do not absorb energy and deform upon impact. This can cause damage to vehicles and infrastructure, leading to the need for replacing barriers after a strong impact.
Corrosion Resistance
A-SAFE: Resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and UV radiation, ensuring a long lifespan and reducing the need for maintenance.
Steel: Steel barriers are susceptible to rust and corrosion, especially in humid environments or when exposed to chemicals, requiring regular maintenance and coating.
Adaptability and Durability
A-SAFE: Designed with built-in memory, meaning it returns to its original shape after an impact. They are flexible and durable even in extreme temperatures.
Steel: Can permanently deform upon impact, leading to damage to the barrier and the need for replacement.
Easy Maintenance
A-SAFE: Barriers allow for the replacement of individual parts without disassembling the entire system, saving time and maintenance costs.
Steel: After a strong impact, it is often necessary to replace the entire section of the barrier, which is more expensive and time-consuming.
Safety of People
A-SAFE: Designed to absorb impacts and reduce the risk of injuries to individuals.
Steel: Due to its hardness and inability to absorb energy, it can cause more severe injuries in collisions.
Cold Environments
A-SAFE: Memaplex™ Sub-Zero maintains its flexibility and strength at very low temperatures, making it ideal for refrigeration facilities.
Steel: At low temperatures, it becomes more brittle and is more prone to damage.

The science behind A-SAFE products
The strength and durability of a safety product are most influenced by the material it is made from. A-SAFE has developed and manufactured a unique three-tiered polymer material called Memaplex™, which is exclusive to A-SAFE safety products.
Triple protection:
-
The outer layer is highly visible, UV protected, and resistant to corrosion and chemicals. It is also colour-treated, eliminating the need for painting.
-
The middle layer acts as an absorption zone, dispersing kinetic energy away from the impact point.
-
The inner layer provides strength and flexibility.
Built-in memory
During the production process of Memaplex, the material's molecules stretch and align to create a unique network structure within the polymer. This network enables an innovative built-in memory that allows the material to return to its original shape after an impact.
Three-Phase joint
The patented connection technology in A-SAFE barriers is unique, as it is not a typical weak point but actually enhances their strength. The joint utilizes an innovative three-phase energy absorption system that gradually reduces and disperses impact energy throughout the barrier. This prevents large amounts of kinetic energy from reaching and damaging the floor or anchoring elements. The connection system also allows for the replacement of individual barrier sections without disassembling the entire set of barriers.
