Eigen Tactile unveils Tactile Ground Surface Indicators

Tactile Ground Surface Indicators
Eigen Tactile is officially launching its two
Tactile Ground Surface Indicator (TGSI) product series onto the market. These include the super thin polymer concrete TGSI product, PolyTac and Eigen ceramic TGSI range.
The TGSI industry has been awaiting a retro fitting product that would not crack or puncture easily when exposed to the elements; PolyTac arrives in a timely manner addressing this critical issue. Its quick and easy installation procedure makes PolyTac an attractive TGSI product for existing outdoor application; its physical properties give it more ductility and durability over its conventional counterpart.
With 95% inorganic material as its component, PolyTac is posed to be more long lasting under UV exposure when compared to pure organic TGSI products. When subject to substrate failures, PolyTac would not present as a tripping hazard due to its easily breakaway design. The combination of all these characteristics makes PolyTac an ideal product for Tactile installation at pram crossings, street crossings, outdoor steps and ramps.
PolyTac has been approved by VicRoads and Melbourne City Council for use as a ground surface indicator to the vision impaired. Eigen’s ceramic TGSI range has also been approved by VicRoads.
