What are the advantages of polycarbonate marking stakes, and how are they manufactured?

Robustness and Durability

To start, let’s talk about the robustness of the material. Polycarbonate is a very robust material. It can withstand harsh climatic conditions, such as extreme temperatures, snow, and impacts. This robustness ensures that the stakes do not crack easily, extending their lifespan.

Our polycarbonate marking stakes are therefore designed to last several seasons without losing effectiveness.

High Visibility

Next, the second advantage is good visibility. This is particularly true in difficult weather conditions, such as snow or fog. ABI Profils’ polycarbonate marking stakes are equipped with retroreflective materials that comply with the NF P 98-402 standard.

As a result, our markers remain visible both day and night, improving user safety.

But our polycarbonate marking stakes are not only robust and visible; they are also versatile. On ski slopes, they mark the boundaries and signal danger zones. In winter sports resorts, they mark paths and safety zones.

These first two advantages make them perfectly suited for these demanding environments.

Eco-responsibility

Environmental protection is also an important aspect at ABI Profils today. We are committed to an eco-responsible approach. Our polycarbonate marking stakes are made from recyclable materials.

By choosing our polycarbonate marking stakes, you are adopting a more sustainable and environmentally friendly solution. But let’s see what other advantages they offer.

Ease of Installation

The installation of marking stakes must be quick and efficient, especially in harsh climatic conditions.

Polycarbonate stakes are designed with a beveled end and can be equipped with a conical or helical tip (fitted by ABI Profils’ teams) upon request. This facilitates their installation. This feature is particularly useful for field teams, who often need to work efficiently and quickly.

Compliance with Standards and Customization

To ensure product quality and safety, it is essential that they comply with current standards.

Our polycarbonate marking stakes comply with the NF P 98-405 and NF P 98-402 standards. This means that our products meet the highest quality standards.

Reliable and secure signage!

Of course, every project has its specificities and needs. At ABI Profils, we offer customization options for our marking stakes. Here are the different customization options:

• Specific dimensions
• Particular colours
• Class II reflective bands
• Anti-freeze caps
• Conical or helical tips

We adapt our products to your requirements.

Quality Production

Production quality is also a factor we hold particularly dear, especially to guarantee high-performance and durable products. At ABI Profils, we use cutting-edge technology to manufacture our stakes.

Our machine park includes single and twin-screw extrusion lines, allowing for flexible production tailored to each request. Our extrusion, co-extrusion, and tri-extrusion processes guarantee superior quality products.

Selected Raw Materials

Now let’s discuss the choice of raw materials. This is a crucial factor to ensure the robustness and durability of our stakes. We use shock-resistant polycarbonate, ECO HDPE, and ECO 2R HDPE (Reinforced – Recycled).

These materials are chosen for their impact resistance, durability, and lightness. By choosing these materials, we ensure that our stakes meet the highest demands.

Shock-Resistant Polycarbonate (PC)

At ABI Profils, we primarily use shock-resistant polycarbonate. This material is particularly known for its high resistance to impacts and harsh climatic conditions. This makes it an ideal material for stakes used in extreme environments.

However, it’s worth noting that polycarbonate (PC) stakes and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) stakes meet different needs.

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

Polycarbonate stakes offer great robustness and durability, while HDPE stakes, such as ECO HDPE and ECO 2R HDPE (Reinforced – Recycled), are characterized by their lightness and flexibility. HDPE is often preferred for applications requiring greater flexibility or for projects where durability must be balanced with economic or environmental criteria.

PVC

Depending on the intended use, we can also offer stakes in other materials, such as PVC. The latter is particularly well-suited for more economical solutions or for environments where resistance to chemicals and weather is required.

To Conclude

Our polycarbonate marking stakes are a reliable and durable solution for both ski slope and winter sports resort signage. Their robustness, quality, high visibility, environmental friendliness, ease of installation, and various customization options ensure the safety of users in demanding conditions.

At ABI Profils, we rely on over 40 years of expertise to offer products that meet the strictest standards and are tailored to each specific need.
