What are the types of plastic speed bumps? How to choose?

• Speed bumps are speed reduction tools used by people in pedestrian areas and other areas where vehicles and pedestrians are in close contact on a daily basis.

They can be installed in different places depending on your security needs. There should be a speed limit sign that indicates the presence of speed bumps to drivers such as cyclists and motorists.

• There are many types of materials for speed bumps. Plastic speed bumps are widely used around the world. They are typically made from three common types of plastic: PVC, PU, and PE.
• Facts You Need to Know About PVC Speed Bumps!
  Polyvinyl chloride plastic (PVC) is the third most common plastic polymer. Around 40 million tons of PVC are produced every year and are used in the construction of different plastic products such as pipes, fittings, pipes, ceilings, hoses, plastic cable coatings, speed bumps, etc.

It is a dense material with a specific gravity of 1.4. This means that recycled PVC speed humps can withstand larger vehicles such as buses and trucks without damage.

PVC comes in two forms – one is called rigid PVC and the other is called soft PVC. Rigid PVC can be used to create speed bumps and is considered a very strong material. Its high tensile strength also makes it very durable.

PVC materials can withstand temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C. Therefore, you can use recycled PVC speed humps in a variety of environments without any hesitation or hassle.

Its resistance to acidic materials indicates that PVC is resistant to the effects of many hazardous chemicals released by motor vehicles.

PVC speed humps are generally more economical than PU or PE speed humps.

What You Need to Know About PU Speed Bumps!
Another common form of polymer used in synthetic speed bumps and other traffic control devices is called polyurethane (PU) plastic. It is known for its different resistance properties, such as temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance.

• PU is a versatile material used to make many different products such as speed bumps, speed bumps, speed pads, traffic cones, pipes, cables, etc. It can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to +65°C.

Therefore, you don’t have to worry about the impact of ambient temperature on bump performance.

PU speed bumps are effective traffic management tools that can slow down speeding vehicles in front of red lights, traffic signs, stop signs and other traffic lights, allowing drivers to follow these signs.

They can also reduce the acceleration of cars in slow speed zones, work zones, parking spaces or neighborhoods where pedestrians and vehicles are close to each other.
