RUBASIA Extreme-Duty Rubber Wall Guard: Technical Data Sheet & Application Guide for Borneo

RUBASIA RUBBERTECH INDUSTRIES defines the standard for heavy-duty wall protection in Borneo. Our 25mm thick Rubber Wall Protector is engineered for environments where wall impacts are not a possibility, but a certainty. This datasheet provides architects, facility managers, and engineers in Sabah, Sarawak, and Brunei with the in-depth information required for specification and procurement.

1. Detailed Product Identification & Overview

• Product Designation: RUBASIA Extreme-Duty Wall Guard (Model: WG-25/200/1000R)
• Common Aliases: Crash Rail, Chair Rail, Wall Bumper, Corridor Guard, Impact Rail, Cart Guard.
• Primary Function: To provide a continuous, high-impact-resistant buffer along interior and sheltered exterior walls, protecting the wall surface from damage caused by lateral collisions.
• Ideal For: Complementing L-angle corner guards to provide complete "wall armor" protection from floor to handrail height.

2. Comprehensive Technical Specifications

• Physical Dimensions:
  • Length: 1,000 mm (Standard). Custom lengths available for large-scale projects.
  • Width (Height): 200 mm
  • Thickness (Projection from Wall): 25 mm (This is a heavy-duty specification, significantly more robust than standard 10-15mm profiles).
• Material Composition:
  • Base Material: High-Modulus SBR/Nitrile Hybrid Rubber Compound.
  • Material Properties:
    • Shore Hardness: 70-75 Shore A (optimized for maximum energy absorption without being overly rigid).
    • Tensile Strength: >15 MPa (resists tearing and deformation under extreme stress).
    • Abrasion Resistance: Excellent (tested per ASTM D4060).
    • Moisture Absorption: <1% (ideal for humid climates and wash-down areas in Borneo).
• Safety & Visibility Feature:
  • Reflective Stripe: A laminated, diamond-grade ASTM D4956 Type III reflective sheeting is embedded into the surface.
  • Stripe Color: Silver/White (standard), Yellow, or Red (custom order).
  • Purpose: Provides critical photoluminescent visibility in low-light and emergency conditions, enhancing safety in car parks, hospitals, and cinemas.
• Weight: Approximately 5.2 kg per linear meter.

3. Performance & Compliance Data

• Impact Resistance: Tested to withstand repeated impacts from a pendulum force equivalent to a 200kg cart moving at 5 km/h without permanent deformation or failure.
• Fire Rating: Self-extinguishing compound. Can be supplied with a Class B (DIN 4102) or Class 0 (UK Building Regs) fire rating for specific project requirements (e.g., airports, train stations, high-rises).
• Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to oils, greases, dilute acids, alkalis, and common industrial cleaning/disinfecting solutions, making it perfect for O&G facilities in Bintulu or Kuala Belait and hospitals.
• Operating Temperature Range: -35°C to +90°C (suitable for all indoor applications and sheltered outdoor use in the Borneo climate).

4. Installation System (Two Methods)

• Method 1: High-Strength Solvent-Based Adhesive
  • Recommended Adhesive: High-tack, non-flammable industrial adhesive (e.g., PL® Premium, SikaTack®-Drive).
  • Surface Prep: Wall must be clean, dry, dust-free, and structurally sound (concrete, CMU, plywood, solid plaster). Not for use on weak drywall alone.
  • Process: Apply adhesive in a zig-zag pattern on the back of the guard. Press firmly into place and support for 24 hours.
• Method 2: Mechanical Fastening (For Ultra-High-Impact Zones)
  • Fasteners: Requires stainless steel countersunk screws and color-matched plugs.
  • Process: Pre-drill holes through the guard into the wall. Secure with screws for a permanent, mechanical bond. This is the recommended method for warehouses in Samalaju or logistics hubs in Sepangar Bay expecting direct forklift impact.

5. Detailed Application Analysis for Borneo's Key Sectors

• Healthcare (Hospitals in Kuching, KK, Brunei):
  • Mounting Height: 150mm - 450mm from the floor for bed and gurney protection.
  • Application: Installed along corridors in Queen Elizabeth Hospital (KK), Normah Hospital (Kuching), and RIPAS Hospital (Brunei) to protect from bed frames, IV pole bases, and medical equipment carts. The non-porous surface supports hygiene protocols.
• Hospitality (Hotels in Miri, Labuan, Jerudong):
  • Mounting Height: 300mm - 500mm for luggage cart and trolley impact.
  • Application: Protects expensive wall coverings and panelling in service corridors and guest hallways from the constant scraping of luggage carts and cleaning trolleys.
• Industrial & Logistics (Warehouses in Bintulu, Lahad Datu):
  • Mounting Height: 200mm - 400mm for forklift and pallet jack impacts.
  • Application: In the FIZ of Bintulu or palm oil warehouses in Tawau, these guards are mounted along narrow aisleways to create a sacrificial barrier, protecting racking uprights and building columns from costly damage.
• Public & Commercial (Airports, Malls, Schools):
  • Mounting Height: Variable, often at multiple levels.
  • Application: In schools across Sarawak and Sabah, they protect walls from chairs, tables, and food trolleys. In airports and malls, they manage damage from crowds and cleaning equipment.
