REFLEX - Highly Visible Elements is a new line of CEDA's vibrocompressed concrete products that seeks to solve the problem of the visibility of particular categories of manufactured articles. In fact, thanks to this methodology that CEDA Spa has patented, it is possible to obtain highly visible concrete elements immediately, without the use of paints or other devices during construction.
The developed technique can be applied to traditional self-locking concrete blocks, concrete gratings and road kerbs. Thanks to the high-pressure application of an elastic-plastic reflective laminate on fresh concrete, the visibility of the concrete can be significantly improved immediately. The result is artefacts that are highly visible in all weather and light conditions, easy to maintain, as the coloured element is embedded in the concrete, and extremely safe: the surface of the laminate, being treated with rougheners, has a degree of roughness on a wet surface equal to that of a wet asphalt pavement.
Particularly interesting are the self-locking concrete elements with incorporated road markings to reinforce the standard road markings.
USE
The elements of the REFLEX - High Visibility Elements line can be used in the most diverse fields: from car parks to lay-bys, from traffic lanes to roundabouts.
The strength of these elements is that they have the same dimensional characteristics as normally manufactured elements; thus becoming accessories to be inserted in the context, it is possible to optimise their use according to the degree of visibility one wishes to confer to the work.
REFLEX line
- HIGH VISIBILITY EL
EMENTS
The methodology with which the elements of the REFLEX line are produced is protected by an industrial patent.
The
concrete elements of the REFLEX line are produced in compliance with the relevant UNI EN standards and are accompanied by the CE mark
.
The REFLEX type concrete block has been tested by an external laboratory for both slipperiness and resistance to freeze-thaw cycles.
The elastic-plastic laminate is approved by the Ministry of Public Works and conforms to UNI EN 1436 and 1790 standards.
The laminate is available in white and yellow.
New laminate characteristics:
Luminance factor (B): greater than 0.60 (white), 0.40 (yellow);
Diurnal reflection (Qd): greater than 160 (white), 100 (yellow) mcd lx-1m-2;
Retroreflection (RL) greater 300 (white), 150 (yellow) mcd lx-1m-2;
Non-slip: greater 50 RSU
