How do TPU and economy delineators differ?

TPU bodies return to shape more completely after impact and stay flexible in the cold, so they last longer on sites with frequent contact and hard winters. Economy delineators cost less and are enough on sheltered lines where contact is rare.

Ø90 bodies are slim and economical, suited to low-speed lines with infrequent contact. Ø110 bodies are more visible and more resistant, which is what live traffic and frequently struck positions need.

Which height should I choose?

30 cm for low area separation, 45 cm for car parks and service roads, 75 cm for urban lane separation and median edges, 100 cm where the line must be seen from a distance. The higher the speed, the taller the body.

TPU Delineators

TPU delineator posts are listed in 30, 45, 75 and 100 cm with Ø90 and Ø110 diameter options. The flexible TPU body lies down and springs back when struck, and metallised or yellow reflective variants raise night visibility.

What the TPU Body Changes

TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) bodies differ from economy plastics on two points: they return to shape more completely after impact, and they keep their flexibility in cold weather. That removes the shattering and replacement cycle common to bodies that turn brittle in winter.

Diameter sets stiffness and visibility. Ø90 bodies are slim and economical; Ø110 bodies are more visible and more resistant. On height, 30 cm suits low separation, 45 cm car parks and service roads, 75 cm urban lane separation, and 100 cm locations that need visibility at distance.

TPU delineator 30 cm — low-profile area separation
TPU delineator 45 cm (including Ø90) — car parks and service roads
TPU delineator 75 cm (Ø90 and Ø110) — urban lane separation
TPU delineator 100 cm — lines needing visibility at distance
Metallised and yellow reflective options; black body variants

Mounting and Use

TPU delineators are either anchored directly into the surface or mounted on a rubber base. Base mounting suits sites where the surface cannot be drilled or the layout changes often; anchored mounting suits permanent lines.

Main uses are lane separation, median edges, car park entry and exit lanes, toll approaches and routing inside construction sites. The height and colour of the reflective sleeve decide how the line reads at night.
