Safety Bumper Guards – your durable Safety Padding
Protruding corners, equipment edges and objects pose a high risk of personal injury. With our safety bumper guards made from recyclable polyurethane foam, you increase safety, minimize work-related injuries and protect walls and equipment throughout your facilities. The flexible cushioning material absorbs the force of impact and gently bounces back. These durable wall and corner guards measure 39 3/8 inch long with several shapes also in 16 foot length (coiled up for ease of shipping). A few types can get custom-length supplied at 54.7 yard length.

If you need to cut a Foam Guard to a specific length, you can do so using a Utility Knife with a new blade. Hold the Foam Guard in place without removing the silicone film protecting the adhesive, measure, mark the length and cut to desired length. For high-volume cutting projects, we highly recommend the Slat Cutter or the Compact Foam Guard Cutting Machine shown below. They are designed to facilitate high-volume cutting needs with less risk of injury, less effort and less fatigue.

Compare the large bubbles in Pipe Insulation or Pool Noodle Foam (green on left) to the dense, impact-resistant Permalight foamPipe Insulation or Pool Noodle Foam (green on left) consists of large air bubbles: impact weight compresses the air bubbles and such porous foam offers little resistance and limited protection. Permalight® polyurethane foam is dense, provides superior impact resistance and a strong cushioning effect against impact.
