ULTRAGUARD™ highly retroreflective coating for all types of guardrails and barriers

HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MADE DRIVING DIFFICULT?

 

ULTRAGUARD™ IS THE SOLUTION !

 

What is ULTRAGUARD™?

ULTRAGUARD™ is a combination of a specially formulated water-based paint and high-reflective glass beads that can be applied vertically to all type of road restraint systems (guardrails, concrete barriers, mobile safety barriers, etc.).

It provides a glare-free, three-dimensional, continuous perception of the roadway, like an Ariane's thread, guiding road users in darkness and in bad weather, thus ensuring, better safety.

ULTRAGUARD™ provides continuous retro-reflective lines at eye-level, defining road geometry. It has been developed to be used in addition of the road marking to give the driver a full perception of the road. 

 

 

 

A UNIQUE TROLLEY FOR VERTICAL APPLICATIONS

The ULTRAGUARD™ application trolley is a unique device that adapts to the type of road restraint.
It allows the simultaneous application of paint and glass microbeads. The trolley can be adapted to all airless marking machines on the market.
The ULTRAGUARD™ system can be applied in dry weather from 7°C and the expected speed is 1 to 1.5 km/h.
The application width depends on the requirements of the road manager: between 5 and 10 cm.

WHY APPLY ULTRAGUARD™ TO YOUR ROAD?

44% of fatal accidents occur between 10pm and 5am (source WHO), although this time of day accounts for only 10% of total traffic. Half of these accidents occur in rainy weather... Despite the existence of legal equipment such as road signs, road markings and crash barriers, the road remains dangerous.


What's more, the driver's field of vision is only about 180° at a standstill and only 60° at 80 km/h. The faster you drive, the more 'tunnel vision' is required. The driver must continue to visually 'scan' the environment to anticipate the possible occurrence of an unexpected event on the road.


The cost of road accidents varies from country to country and according to the method of calculation, but on average a serious injury costs society around 400,000 euros and a fatality costs 3.4 million euros. It is not possible to save money on road safety in order to save lives.


Anticipation is the ability to perceive situations early enough, analyse them correctly and make the appropriate driving decisions. It is only by anticipating that the driver's reaction time can be reduced, as he can act more quickly. ULTRAGUARD™ complements existing road equipment and is the only solution that provides total and permanent visibility and understanding of the road for all road users.
