The Science of Safety : The Best Protection Starts with the Best Materials
At Armbright, we engineer column protectors that last. While other brands cut corners with thin PVC, low-density foam, and unreliable fasteners, we’ve designed a superior safety solution that outperforms, outlasts, and out-protects the competition.
Here’s why Armbright is America’s first choice for industrial column protection.
We Explain Why Armbright Column Protectors are Built Better
Let’s Start at the Core. Armbright StratoCore™
We’ve seen it all, and we’ve seen it all fail. Other suppliers use cheap low-density foam or foam that’s too thin – or a combination of both. The result is the same, a material that ‘bottoms out’ under any significant impact, causing damage to columns and posts, or worse - crush injuries to employees.
We knew we could do better. Our research engineers created something they called XLPE45CC. There’s a reason that engineers don’t work in the marketing department – so we named it Armbright StratoCore.
The 2” StratoCore foam core absorbs maximum impact energy to protect both your facility and your workers.
industry-Leading Density & Strength – While some suppliers cut costs with low-density or thinner foam, StratoCore delivers a superior material blend engineered for high-impact environments.
Designed for Impact – Absorbs collision forces to reduce structural damage to support beams.
Long-Lasting Compression Resistance – Unlike soft, low-density foams, StratoCore maintains its shape and performance overtime.
Exclusive to Armbright – You won’t find StratoCore anywhere else. We DO NOT supply this material to any other manufacturers (Despite what they may tell you!)
The Outer Shell: Built Like a Truck, Not a Toy
18oz PVC-Coated Polyester – The same high-performance material used by America’s leading trucking firms to withstand rain, wind, chemicals, and years of abuse on the road
Weatherproof & Chemical Resistant: Resists water, oils, and industrial chemicals, ensuring long-term durability indoors and outdoors.
Fire-Retardant Performance: Rated for fire resistance to help reduce workplace hazards and support safety compliance.
Why It Matters: Unlike cheap, thin vinyl used by competitors, Armbright’s outer shell doesn’t crack, tear, or fade over time. No maintenance required: Wipes clean, doesn’t absorb water, and won’t degrade under heavy use.
The Fastening System: Armbright StratoLock - No Straps, No Hassle, Super-fast Install
We don’t use cheap plastic interlocks, weak laces, or unreliable straps. The Armbright StratoLock 2” fastening system secures in seconds and stays locked in place—no adjustments, no failures.
Industrial-Grade hook and loop fastening – Super-high Tensile Strength, Shear Strength and Peel Strength, will not detach on impact
.Engineered to perform. 2” width provides flexibility for varying column widths and high cycle life.
Faster Installation – Simply wrap and press—done in seconds.
No Plastic Clips, No straps, No Ties – Unlike interlocking plastic shields, StratoLock won’t crack, shift, or fail over time
The Inner Liner: Built to Handle Tough Environments
Competitors skip this step, but we like to finish the job properly. Every detail matters. We use 4oz Nylon fabric for added durability and wear resistance
Lightweight yet durable – Provides an extra layer of abrasion resistance.
Prevents wear & tear on the foam core – Extends product lifespan.
Moisture-resistant – Will not absorb any spills, condensation, or humidity.
