POLYSLICK BUS CURB
- Chemical Family
- PolyethylenesPolyolefins
POLYSLICK BUS CURB is a custom formulated synthetic fender designed to reduce street curb and transit station curb damage as well as reduce damage to bus wheels and tires. Damage typically occurs when drivers are executing "precision or close docking". This safety oriented action is required to reduce the gap between the curb or station platform and the boarding floor of the bus. POLYSLICK BUS CURB allows busses to impact and glide smoothly along the curb face achieving a minimal and safer boarding gap while protecting the curb and bus. Our standard high visibility colors are consistent and UV stabilized throughout the material so they permanently enforce the bus zone. No more painting!.
