All About Contact Plastics Economy Rebound Blade

Contact Plastic's Latest Innovation

Over the past few years, reboundable delineators, also known as heavy duty delineators, channelisers or simply “rebounds” have become increasingly popular for road construction, civils, and all sorts of traffic accommodation tasks. With this in mind Contact Plastics has created a new product, the economy rebound delineator.
 
This product offers customers a trimmed down version of our existing reboundable blades without minimising quality and at a very attractive price point. The product is also designed to stack and pack efficiently, reducing logistical costs for remote sites and preventing unstable pallets. While it provides a cheaper rebound solution than almost any other on the market, the blade has been completely redesigned and incorporates a number of innovative updates and design features which will actually make it last much longer than equivalent products.
 

I-Beam Profile 

Anyone who has dealt with large road closures before will know that reboundable blades most often shatter about 50% up the blade length. This is because, upon impact, the blade sees the maximum bending moment at this point. The Economy Reboundable Blade exploits an I-beam profile to reduce the blades moment of intertia. This in turn means less strain on the blade – in other words its less likely to bend under impact and damage the precious reflective tape.

 

Tapered Profile

The Economy Reboundable Delineator blade also has a tapered profile along its length. This means that there is less material at the top than at the bottom. During an impact, this means that the blade offers less resistance (intertia) to impact and as a result, sees much less damage from each subsequent impact. In addition to this, the blade features a polished surface. This means that the reflective tape has better adhesion and also offers less friction during impact resulting in a longer lifespan.

 

Flame Applicated Tape

The tape on the economy rebound is applicated in strips to save expense and reduce the price to the customer. In addition, the tape is applicated to the blade with a flame torch which offers excellent resistance to impact and heavy weather conditions. The design of the economy rebound has been informed by years of experience in the manufacture and distribution of reboundable delineators as well as sound mechanical engineering principles.
