SeñalConfor’s reflectors are sealed for performance

Traffic safety specialist SeñalConfor says its flexible reflectors have high-reflectance catadioptric plates sealed hermetically by injection into a flexible EVA - ethylene-vinyl acetate - body. This makes the rectangular flexible reflectors resistant to bends caused by wind or impacts and weather for many years, according to the company that was set up in Barcelona, Spain, in 2007. The units can be fixed onto a surface by plastic plugs or by mono-component adhesive recommended and tested by SeñalConfor.

Flexible reflectors from SeñalConfor have high-reflectance catadioptric plates
Traffic safety specialist SeñalConfor says its flexible reflectors have high-reflectance catadioptric plates sealed hermetically by injection into a flexible EVA - ethylene-vinyl acetate - body. This makes the rectangular flexible reflectors resistant to bends caused by wind or impacts and weather for many years, according to the company that was set up in Barcelona, Spain, in 2007. The units can be fixed onto a surface by plastic plugs or by mono-component adhesive recommended and tested by SeñalConfor.


This type of reflector is manufactured in accordance with the standard EN 12899-3 or type D4 and can have R1 retroreflective type devices (film) or the type R2 (reflectors).

SeñalConfor also produces metal barrier reflectors that have catadioptric plates fixed by aluminium rivets to a hot galvanised steel housing. The plate is made of optical polycarbonate and treated to produce excellent scratch resistance and reduced UV degradation. As with the company’s flexible reflectors, the barrier reflectors are manufactured to standard EN 12899-3.

The result of this analysis should be used as a reference for the improvement of the mix. In the laboratory this can be achieved using additives while at the plant it can be achieved using differing mixer technology an

    Warsaw’s General Stefan Rowecki Bridge, or the Grota Bridge, is the second largest in the Polish capital and, as part of the Trasa Toruska expressway, it is the busiest. The structure, which opened in 1981, handles 150,000 cars daily, so repairs were always going to be tricky if minimal disruption to traffic was to occur. The steel orthotropic deck consists of two structurally independent parts – each with four traffic lanes. This meant that pedestrians and cyclists were restricted to two very narrow track
