The Knuffi Corner Protection Profile Type H Plus (Type H+, Ref: KTI16007002CPHP) is a heavy-duty, self-adhesive warning and impact-cushioning profile engineered to safeguard personnel, machinery, and facility infrastructure. Featuring a 48 mm inner 90° corner cutout and a 12 mm wall cushion thickness, this profile acts as an engineered crumple zone across hazardous industrial, logistic, and commercial environments.
Warehouse Logistics and Material Handling Routes
High-traffic internal transport routes and pedestrian passageways are subject to continuous collision risks from hand trucks, carts, roll containers, and personnel movement. Installing Knuffi Type H+ along corner edges, low-clearance doorways, and transfer aisles provides both high-visibility spatial demarcation (ASR A1.3 compliant) and energy-absorbing impact mitigation. The Shore A = 40 polyurethane foam compresses under impact, preventing lacerations, blunt-force contusions, and chipping along exposed structural edges.
Industrial Machinery and Structural Racking Protection
Manufacturing floors feature dense arrangements of automated machinery, control cabinets, conveyor support legs, and heavy storage racking. Protruding 90-degree metal frames and sharp machine corners present severe hazard points for operational staff and equipment. Knuffi Type H+ adheres directly to metal framework, machine housings, and storage rack pillars, protecting sensitive machine enclosures from physical shocks while dampening collision impact energy.
Multi-Storey Parking Facilities and Infrastructure Pillars
Concrete pillars, ramp walls, and structural columns in parking garages and loading bays present tight turning hazards for vehicles and logistics equipment. With high operational temperature tolerance ranging from -40 °C to +100 °C, along with moisture and UV resistance, Type H+ is suited for both covered and outdoor parking structures. The integrated acrylic adhesive backing provides a secure 21 N / 25 mm bond directly onto sealed masonry, concrete, and painted drywall surfaces.
Substrate Compatibility Matrix
| Substrate Category | Application Suitability | Operational Considerations |
|---|
| Structural Steel & Sheet Metal | Optimal | Mounts securely to degreased machine guards, equipment bases, and metal uprights. |
| Sealed Concrete & Masonry | Optimal | Protects column corners and loading bay edges; requires dry, dust-free prep. |
| Painted Drywall & Finished Partitions | Optimal | Prevents corner gouging and personnel impact injuries along internal corridors. |
| Treated Industrial Wood / Timber | Compatible | Adheres to flat, sealed timber posts and structural framing in transit hubs. |
Hospitals, Commercial Properties, and Regulated Facilities
Commercial facilities, hospitals, and clean manufacturing environments benefit from the profile's reverse-printed polyurethane outer skin. Because colour pigmentation is permanently embedded beneath an abrasion-resistant PU film without exterior surface paint, the bumper guard will not flake, peel, or release particulate contamination when subjected to frequent contact, mild detergents, or washdowns. Furthermore, the material complies with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and meets DIN EN 13501-1 Class E fire classification standards, qualifying it for deployment across regulated commercial facilities.
