Novoband Access is a profile made of natural aluminum designed to be placed as an orientation and guide element for people with visual disabilities. This profile is easily installed on finished pavement. Highly resistant, it allows the passage of heavy traffic and serves both as a guide for the blind or people with low vision and to signal potential dangers.

Novoband Access are bands made of aluminum designed to be placed as an orientation and guide element in the pavement for people with visual disabilities. They are available in 3 and 5 mm heights to facilitate their placement, complying with the requirements of different countries for indoors and outdoors. It is ideal for placement in accessible environments where tactile contrast is required.

Novoband Access is a profile made by extrusion of aluminum. Aluminum is a material with excellent chemical and physical-mechanical properties. It is light, tough, ductile, malleable and highly durable. Due to its properties, aluminum is ideal for the use of this profile.

Technical characteristics and tests

• Alloy: 6063 / L-3441 AA and ASTM / UNE 38-301-89
• Fire resistance: M0 / UNE 23-727-90
• Abrasion resistance: Very good

Installation

Novoband Access is supplied in 2 meter length, and can be cut on site. To install it, all you have to do is apply adhesive at the bottom of the profile, place it in the desired position and apply pressure to ensure optimum adhesion. On request, it can be ordered with holes for fixing with screws (not supplied).

There is a placement template available optionally, to guide the positioning of the bands according to the provisions of the regulations.

Cleaning and maintenance

Novoband Access is resistant to water and detergents. Cleaning should be done periodically with a soft, fiber-free cloth. If you choose to use a neutral cleaning liquid, it must be rinsed with cold water and dried to remove excess moisture. Stubborn soiling can be removed with suitable mildly abrasive cleaning agents.

The use of steel wool, abrasive or pickling products, as well as strong acids (hydrochloric and perchloric), strong bases (caustic soda or ammonia) or carbonated solutions is not recommended. Citric acid should also not be used as it dissolves the protective oxide layer on the aluminum surface. Waxes, petroleum jelly, lanolin or the like are not suitable. Haloalkane solvents (hydrofluoroethers or chlorinated solvents) and setting accelerators containing chlorides should be avoided (use non-chloride accelerators).
