Ultraguard

ULTRAGUARD

a highly reflective coating system for all types of vehicle restraint systems.

An innovative solution that raises the standards of road safety. It is a specially developed visible signaling system that combines water-based paint and highly reflective glass beads, providing exceptional night and day visibility – even in difficult weather conditions.

Unlike traditional approaches that rely solely on driver behavior for safety, ULTRAGUARD improves the infrastructure and allows drivers to better perceive, understand and anticipate the situation on the road.

The result? Fewer errors, more reaction time and safer traffic for all participants.

Whether it is guardrails, concrete barriers or mobile systems, ULTRAGUARD brings a three-dimensional visual effect that transforms the way we see and experience the road.

Advantages of the ULTRAGUARD system?

Increases reaction time: allows drivers to see obstacles and dangerous situations on the road earlier.
Improves depth perception and orientation: guides drivers through curves and changes in road direction more efficiently.
Environmentally friendly: eliminates light pollution (no streetlights, no reflections to the sky, does not disturb people’s sleep or the natural cycles of insects).
No accidents = lower costs: ULTRAGUARD makes protective barriers visible in all weather conditions. Reduced accidents also mean less need to replace the system and lower operating costs.
High visibility: particularly effective on curves, roundabouts, construction sites, in tunnels, on unlit roads and in adverse weather conditions.
Durability: as a low-profile sign, it is protected from the wear and tear that horizontal signage suffers. Glass beads additionally protect the paint and extend the life of the sign.

Wide range of applications

ULTRAGUARD can be applied to all types of vehicle containment systems:

single or double guardrails,
barriers with two or three wave guards,
concrete barriers,
mobile safety barriers,
low walls and
New Jersey barriers and other types.

ULTRAGUARD is the result of an exclusive partnership between Potters and SOLOSAR.

Why is it necessary to apply ULTRAGUARD on roads?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 44% of fatal traffic accidents occur between 10:00 PM and 5:00 AM, although this time period accounts for only 10% of all traffic. Half of these accidents occur in the rain.

Despite the existing road infrastructure – traffic signs, horizontal signaling and protective fences, roads still represent a high-risk environment.

In addition, the driver’s field of vision while the vehicle is stationary is about 180°, but at a speed of 80 km/h it is reduced to only 60°. The higher the speed, the more pronounced the phenomenon of so-called tunnel vision.

The driver must continuously visually scan the environment in order to notice and react to potential dangers in time.

Advantages of ULTRAGUARD paint

non-toxic, non-flammable paint,
no or low odor,
ultra-fast drying on various surfaces, completely dry in 2 hours
water-based paint,
silane-based bonding coating is the bond between the microspheres and the paint,
average retroreflective value is 1000 mcd/lx/m² (white paint)
does not flow when applied vertically

ULTRAGUARD glass microspheres comply with the following standards.

particle size according to EN 1423
reflective index 1.9 class C according to EN 1436
