What is a Plastic Safety Guard?
A plastic safety guard is a device or protective barrier designed to prevent accidents, injuries, or unwanted or accidental contact with a hazard. Safety guards are used in various settings, such as machinery, conveying and drive systems, as well as hazardous chemical areas.
Benefits of Plastic Safety Guards vs sheet metal or mesh guards
- Lightweight – easy to install and remove.
- Chemical and corrosion resistance – won’t rust, and in the case of the Polystone 300 yellow guards, have extremely high chemical resistance, as well as not requiring repainting or maintenance.
- See though – The Palsun UV2 and Palsun AR clear polycarbonate guards are completely see through opposed to steel mesh guards that only provide an obstructed view.
- Strong & Durable – Due to the high impact strength of these materials, they are suitable for repeated & high impact loading. Palsun is even used in ballistic applications.
- Electrically Insulating – plastic safety guards can also protect against electrical shock as they will not conduct electricity.
- Weather and UV Resistant – Both Palsun UV2 and Polystone 300 Yellow are UV stable, therefore can be used in outdoor applications.
