From bustling urban sidewalks to high-speed highways, safety barriers play a crucial role in managing vehicle traffic and protecting people and infrastructure. Two of the most common solutions are bollards and Jersey barriers. While both serve to prevent accidents and provide perimeter protection, they are distinct in their design, functionality, and applications.

Cast steel, a vital material in modern manufacturing, has carved its niche by combining versatility with mechanical strength. It’s a ferrous alloy containing up to 0.75% carbon and is produced by pouring molten steel into molds to form solid metal objects. Cast steel serves as a cornerstone in industries ranging from automotive to aerospace due to its ability to form complex shapes with fewer production steps than wrought steels. While it typically offers slightly lower mechanical properties compared to wrought alternatives, its adaptability to diverse applications ensures it remains an indispensable material in engineering and construction.

Polyurethane is a polymer formed by reacting di- or poly-isocyanates with polyols. Unlike traditional plastics such as polyethylene, which are molded from powders, polyurethane is typically formed directly into its final product. This flexibility in production gives it widespread applicability across various sectors.

Judging by the name, you might assume that stainless steel never stains—but you’d be wrong. Stainless steel stains less easily than other iron-based metals, but it’s not literally “stainless”. Just like standard steel, stainless can get marked up by fingerprints and grease, develop discoloration, and
