1. Core rebound principle at the molecular level

After undergoing nanotechnology processing, the polymer molecular chains are restructured into a  regular linear network of cross-linked structures, which possess the material's memory effect.

When a forklift impacts: The network-like molecular chains are stretched and expanded, converting the impact kinetic energy into molecular deformation potential energy. They can absorb up to approximately 80% of the impact energy, buffering the impact force and reducing the force transmitted to the ground anchor.
When the external force disappears: The cross-linked molecular chains tend to return to their lowest energy original state, automatically contracting and recovering to their original shape. The guardrail pipe rebounds to its original form.

2. Three-layer Integrated Composite Structure (Single Extrusion Molding)

The ARMORFLEX® pipe material has three layers each performing their specific functions, working together to ensure rebound and durability:

Inner Layer - Reinforcement Layer. Provides the basic structural rigidity, preventing collapse during impacts;
Middle Layer - Shock Absorption and Energy Absorption Layer. The elastic core, bearing most of the deformation and energy absorption, determines the quality of rebound performance;

Outer Layer - Anti-aging and Wear-resistant Layer. Resists UV (ultraviolet) radiation, is wear-resistant, and resistant to corrosion, protecting the internal elastic molecular structure and delaying the decline of rebound performance.

3. Supporting structure for auxiliary rebound

Hollow tubular cross-section:space for material deformation to avoid stress concentration and cracking；
Flexible buffer base: The pipe and metal base are not completely locked together. The impact allows for a slight oscillation to relieve the force, avoiding root fracture and assisting in the rebound and reset.
