What are AirGguards made from?
Air Guards are made from extruded plastic polymers...... very tough, strong and resilient

How do you attach?
AIr Guard strips come with very strong peel and stick tape. Best for smooth straight surfaces

In those applications where a more permanent bond is required, customers can attach with silicone or instant adhesive.

First remove the protective film from the adhesive strip and then apply adhesive over the existing peel/stick adhesive

Silicone - For most general installations, any high quality 100% rubber silicone or MS Polymer.

Instant Adhesive - for attaching smaller pieces where you need a very high level of bonding, use an instant adhesive. You can purchase small quantities such as Loctite Superglue. We also sell our own private label Boing 4000

Given the variety of factors that can affect the use and performance of products, the user is solely responsible for evaluating the solutions offered and determining whether it is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for user’s method of application. We can only give you recommendations as to what we have tested and used.

How much silicone do you need?
If you use the silicone method, the amount will vary with the type of surface to be protected and the degree of adhesion. For small jobs, all you need initially is a small toothpaste size tube. For large jobs you may consider a 300ml tube that must be used with a caulking gun:

In what colors are the Air Guards available?
Currently available GREY, WHITE, CLEAR

If you do not see it on our website, we do not have it. Your option is to consider "custom" manufacturing .... but that is a major investment.

Are Air Guards fireproof?
AIr Guards are not fireproof nor contain smoke inhibitorsBoing Safety has not tested all products regarding fire and smoke retardants to meet Class A fire codes. There are many, many different local, national and international fire codes, each with different property requirements. It is not possible to have one set of fire/smoke retardantst that meets the various fire codes for all possible applications.

Customer must weigh the benefit of the Air Guards and the many injuries it can prevent versus meeting fire codes for your specific application.

Are Air Guards long lasting?
It will last many, many years if used in the manner it was designed as safety padding. However, durability is relative to the amount and type of use. Longevity will be reduced by excessive or aggressive use. It is impossible for us to advise customers on "longevity" as there are thousands of different applications and different environments.

Can Air Guards be used outside?
We do not recommend the Air Guards for exterior use.

It is best if the product is not exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.

How do you clean and maintain the safety padding?
See separate page on "Cleaning". If possible, do not use solvents such as methylene chloride, acetone, laquer thinner, Benzene, Toluene, Xylene etc. Do not clean polyurethane with acids.

Can you use around water activities?
We do not recommend using around water activities
