FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this impact protector?
Its primary purpose is to protect exposed corners and edges from damage, and to reduce the risk of injury to people who might bump into them, especially in high-traffic areas.
What type of foam is used?
The protector is made from durable polyurethane (PU) foam, known for its impact absorption properties.
Can this protector be used outdoors?
No, this protector is designed for indoor use only. It may not withstand outdoor environmental conditions like rain, UV exposure, or extreme temperatures.
How is the protector installed?
It features a self-adhesive backing, allowing for quick and easy installation by peeling off the protective layer and pressing the protector onto the desired surface.
What are the dimensions of the protector?
Each length is 1 metre long. The internal opening where it fits onto a corner is approximately 20mm x 20mm, and the overall dimensions are 1000mm x 40mm (length x width/depth).
Can I cut the protector to a specific length?
Yes, the 1-metre length can be easily cut using a sharp knife or scissors to fit your specific application needs.
Does this come in other shapes besides rounded corners?
Yes, similar impact protectors are available in square corner, circular edge, and flat rectangle shapes.
How should I clean the impact protector?
You can clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Troubleshooting
Protector not adhering properly
Ensure the application surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free of dust, oil, or any residues. Re-apply pressure along the entire length of the protector. For persistent issues, consider a suitable adhesive primer or alternative bonding agent if compatible with the surface and intended use.
Yellow and black stripes are fading
The hazard stripes are printed and may fade over time with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh cleaning agents. If fading is a concern, consider replacing the affected sections. Avoid direct sunlight where possible.
Protector appears compressed or damaged
Inspect the protector for signs of excessive impact or wear. If the foam is significantly compressed or torn, it may have reached the end of its protective lifespan and should be replaced to maintain safety standards.
Difficulty cutting to size
Use a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors for clean cuts. Score the foam first if needed for easier cutting. Ensure a stable surface for cutting to avoid accidents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface where the protector will be applied is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Peel off the backing from the self-adhesive strip. Carefully align the protector with the edge or corner and press firmly from end to end, ensuring good contact. For longer applications, butt multiple pieces together for continuous coverage.
Compatibility: This protector is designed for indoor use on surfaces that can accept adhesive, such as painted walls, metal, wood, and concrete. It is particularly effective on right-angled corners but can be adapted to other profiles. It is not recommended for outdoor use or in environments with excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
Care: Clean the protector with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the foam or adhesive. Regularly inspect the protector to ensure it remains securely attached and free from significant damage.
