Full details
The Vigil Impact Protector - Yellow - Square Corner is designed for industrial and high-traffic environments, offering a key benefit of reducing injuries and preventing damage to exposed corners. A potential caveat is its suitability for indoor use only. This high-visibility safety padding is manufactured from durable PU foam to effectively absorb impacts.

FAQs
What type of corners is this protector designed for?
This specific model is designed for square, 90-degree corners.
Can this protector be used outdoors?
No, this impact protector is intended for indoor use only. Outdoor exposure can degrade the material and reduce its effectiveness.
How do I cut the protector to size?
You can easily cut the 1-meter length to your desired size using a sharp utility knife or strong scissors.
What is the thickness of the impact protector?
The impact protector measures 10mm in thickness.
How is the protector attached?
It features a strong self-adhesive backing for quick and secure installation without tools.
What surfaces is the adhesive best suited for?
The self-adhesive backing works best on clean, smooth, and non-porous surfaces like painted metal, sealed wood, and finished concrete.
What are the dimensions of the protector?
Each length is 1000mm (1 meter) long, with a profile of 40mm x 40mm.
Troubleshooting
Impact protector is not sticking firmly
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Use a sealant or primer if applying to a porous surface. Apply firm, consistent pressure along the entire length during installation. For persistent issues, consider using an additional industrial-strength adhesive suitable for foam and the application surface.
Adhesive residue left after removal
Gently scrape away the bulk of the residue with a plastic scraper. Use a citrus-based adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol on a cloth to dissolve the remaining adhesive. Test the cleaner in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not damage the underlying surface.
Yellow/black color fading or peeling
This product is intended for indoor use. Fading may occur over time due to prolonged exposure to artificial light. Ensure the surface was properly prepared before application for best adhesion of the colored coating. If peeling occurs, the protector may need to be replaced.
Protector is easily torn or damaged
The PU foam offers moderate impact protection. For areas with very high impact potential or very sharp objects, consider a more robust protective solution. Ensure the protector is correctly aligned and fully adhered to prevent snagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the corner where the protector will be applied is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or grease. For best adhesion, wipe the surface with a suitable cleaner and allow it to dry completely.
- Measure and Cut: Measure the required length of the impact protector. Use a sharp utility knife or scissors to cut the 1-meter length to your desired size.
- Apply Adhesive Backing: Peel off the protective backing from the self-adhesive strip.
- Position and Press: Carefully align the protector with the corner and press it firmly into place. Apply consistent pressure along the entire length for at least 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond.
Compatibility:
- Surface Type: Best suited for smooth, non-porous surfaces such as painted metal, sealed wood, and finished concrete. Adhesion may be reduced on rough, textured, or highly porous surfaces.
- Environment: Designed for indoor use only. Exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, or UV light may degrade the material and adhesive.
- Corner Type: Specifically designed for square (90-degree) corners. For rounded or other shaped edges, alternative Vigil impact protector models are available.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the surface of the impact protector with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the foam and reflective tape.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the protector for signs of wear, damage, or detachment. Reapply pressure or replace if adhesion weakens.
