Description
Technical Details – PE Traffic Cone with Rubber Base
1. Material Engineering
- Cone Body:
- Manufactured from injection-moulded high-density Polyethylene (PE).
- PE is chosen over PVC because it is lighter, more flexible, and more UV-resistant, reducing the risk of cracking under sunlight exposure.
- PE structure ensures the cone returns to its original shape after minor vehicle impact or compression.
- Base Material:
- Made from vulcanised recycled rubber, providing eco-friendly durability.
- The dense rubber base adds weight and grip, improving wind resistance and stability on highways and open areas.
- Anti-slip properties make it safe for indoor use on tiles, epoxy-coated floors, and polished concrete.
2. Dimensional Accuracy
- Height: 750mm (30 inches) — standard industry height for high-visibility roadside safety.
- Base Dimensions: 380mm x 380mm — large footprint ensures stability and balance.
- Wall Thickness: Optimized for strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring durability without excessive bulk.
- Weight Distribution: Designed with a low center of gravity, making it resistant to tipping from wind or passing vehicles.
3. Performance Ratings
- UV Resistance: Tested to withstand >1000 hours of direct UV exposure without significant color fading.
- Impact Resistance: Can withstand minor vehicle contact, knocks, and drops without structural failure.
- Temperature Range: -20°C to +60°C — suitable for cold storage warehouses and tropical outdoor conditions.
- Color Stability: Fluorescent pigments with fade-resistant coating, keeping visibility over prolonged outdoor use.
- Reflective Performance: Reflective bands meet ASTM D4956 Type I & II standards for retroreflective sheeting.
4. Design Specifications
- Stackable Design: Cones nest within each other for efficient storage and logistics.
- Detachable Rubber Base: Allows easier replacement, cleaning, and portability.
- Tapered Shape: Provides 360° visibility and reduces wind drag.
- Base Grip Pattern: Engineered anti-slip grooves to prevent sliding on smooth or wet roads.
5. Compliance & Standards
- Conforms to road safety guidelines used by JKR (Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia) and municipal councils.
- Meets international road safety standards such as EN 13422 for cone stability and visibility.
- Widely accepted in government projects, highway maintenance contracts, and construction tenders.
6. Customization Options (Technical Enhancements)
- Color Variants: Available in fluorescent orange/red, lime green, and yellow for different safety applications.
- Reflective Options: Single or double reflective stripes, with high-intensity reflective tape available for highways.
- Weight Options: Standard rubber base (3–4kg) or heavier base options for windy/roadside conditions.
- Logo Printing: Company branding or numbering can be screen-printed or heat-pressed onto reflective strips.
