The Main Areas of Application of PVC Industrial Protection

THE MAIN AREAS OF APPLICATION OF PVC INDUSTRIAL PROTECTION

Safety is a TOP priority goal: on the production site, in the logistics center, in the office, and finally at home. In other words, safety is essential everywhere. In this blog post, we will explain the main areas of application of PVC industrial protection. Firstly, we will describe the possible risks in every area of use. Secondly, we will describe how Flexible Industrial Protection can help you to prevent product damage, equipment damage, and, above all, protect humans from injuries. In other words, we will talk about the advantages of flexible industrial protections. Finally, you can consult our case study that demonstrates that a flexible PVC protection does protect your workers from injuries and doors from damages as a metal one, and does it in a more EFFICIENT way.

TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS

In the field of freight transport and logistics, there are many risk factors for people and structures. Loading and unloading operations, the use of storage equipment, and heavy vehicle traffic increase the risk of collisions and damage to working areas.

What are the advantages of PVC Industrial Protection?

  1. High durability and resistance with heavy vehicular traffic
  2. High density and compactness of the material for wider aisles
  3. High-visibility color to guarantee safer working areas
  4. Material mechanical properties not affected by atmospheric agents

RETAIL DISTRIBUTION CENTER

The traffic of forklift trucks and vehicles in retail distribution centers represents a possible danger for pedestrians circulating inside the buildings. Racks, equipment, and people are regularly exposed to potential collisions with heavy, large vehicles.

Advantages of Flexible Industrial Protection in retail distribution centers:

  1. High resistance to impacts over time
  2. Fire class V0: self-extinguishing, no flame spread, and no fiery drops
  3. High density and compactness of the material to let wider aisles
  4. Flexibility to impacts without damaging the floor

FOOD & BEVERAGE

The food industry requires strict compliance with hygiene and control standards, but also the safety of areas at risk of impact. Protective solutions must, therefore, meet both sets of requirements. In the areas dedicated to Food&Beverage, it is essential to pay particular attention to the protection of refrigerated rooms and devices that, if damaged, could lead to the deterioration and damage of the products stored within.

What are the advantages of Flexible Industrial Protection?

  1. Water and moisture resistant
  2. PVC is a non-porous material, therefore it is easy to clean. Consequently, it prevents the creation of molds and microorganisms.
  3. Atoxic. Resistant to saline solutions, alcohol, chemicals, and acids
  4. Hidden and INOX fixing accessories available

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE AND COLD STORAGE

In storage areas, the continuous movement of goods and vehicles, like forklifts and pallet trucks, poses a threat to the safety of people, machinery, racks, and structures. Consequently, the high risk of collisions makes it necessary to install protective systems capable of absorbing the impact, safeguarding, and protecting the equipment and personnel against damage.

Advantages of Flexible Industrial Protection in this field of application:

  1. Firstly, high density and compactness of the material for wider aisles
  2. Secondly, flexibility to impacts without damaging the floor
  3. Thirdly, high-visibility color to guarantee safer working areas
  4. Finally, high durability and resistance with heavy vehicular traffic

AUTOMOTIVE AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

In the automotive and mechanical engineering industry, the high density of vehicle traffic in production plants means that there is a possible danger for highly automated machinery and structures. The industry, therefore, requires protective solutions capable of guaranteeing maximum resistance and flexibility for total protection of delicate, fragile mechanical components and engineering products.

Advantages of Flexible Industrial Protection in this field of application:

  1. High resistance to impacts
  2. Resistant to fuel, oil, alcohol, and acids
  3. High-visibility color
  4. Customized solutions to adapt to every machinery and conveyor

AIRPORTS

The movement of vehicles at airports can cause damage to structures and people. Terminals, conveyor belts, and walkways are exposed continuously to a high risk of collision, and consequently, to the risk of irreparable damage. A complete, high-performance protection system is an absolute must to ensure the safety of the areas in and around the airports.

Advantages of Flexible Industrial Protection in this field of application:

  1. firstly, PVC is a non-conductive material that has excellent thermal and acoustic insulation
  2. The fire class of PVC is V0: self-extinguishing, no flame spread, and no fiery drops
  3. PVC Industrial Protection has a high resistance to impacts over time
  4. UV resistance

INDUSTRY AND PRODUCTION

Protecting machinery and people against possible accidents is essential during industrial production operations. The high traffic of pedestrians and moving vehicles requires quality protective solutions to improve the safety and efficiency of production plants, safeguarding the security of people and structures.

Advantages of Flexible Industrial Protection in this field of application:

  1. Firstly, high resistance to impacts
  2. Secondly, resistance to fuel, oil, alcohol, and acids
  3. Thirdly, high-visibility color
  4. Different dimensions available to adapt machinery and conveyors
