    Foam Tubing Guards

    Cushion exposed pipes, tubing, and other cylindrical surfaces to protect both the surfaces and the people who bump into them. These guards reduce the risk of damage from impacts. They can be cut to size.

    Light Duty Polyethylene

    Foam

    Abrasion-Resistant

    Polyurethane Foam

    Light Duty Polyethylene Foam—Best for occasional bumps or temporary protection, these guards are made from rigid, low-density foam. They soften impacts, but they’ll crack, compress, and lose their shape with repeated blows. An outer skin protects them from moisture and UV rays.
    Abrasion-Resistant Polyurethane Foam—Built for long-term use in busy areas, these guards keep their shape even after several collisions. They’re more flexible than polyethylene guards, and they hold up better to scrapes, scratches, and punctures.
    Plain Back—Secure with zip ties, tape, or adhesive.
    Adhesive Back—Peel and stick to any clean, smooth surface.
    Flexible—Bend around gradual curves.

    Up to twice as thick as our standard tubing guards, these guards offer excellent cushioning and hold up to heavy impacts and abrasion. Mix and match elbow and straight guards to cover scaffolding on oil rigs, lifts in airplane hangars, and exposed pipes in factories. Their sealed outer surface resists chemicals, jet fuel, hydraulic fluid, and weather without cracking or soaking through. They’re bright yellow for visibility in busy areas.
