PBA Products feature closed-pore, anti-bacterial 1 7/16-inch (36mm) diameter tubes bonded to industrial aluminum structural cores. The nylon tubes are 1/8-inch (3mm) thick and have extremely smooth bright and shiny surfaces. PBA Nylon products are available in the following colors: White, Biscuit, Grey, Black, Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow

ANTI-BACTERIAL
The high-quality thermoplastic resin POLYAMIDE 6 surfaces of PBA nylon products provide a virtually pore-free surface that does not support the growth of bacteria (see COMPETITIVE INFO section of this site for material comparisons test).

NON-SLIP
Slip-resistance of grab bars is a function of the area of hand-to-bar surface contact. The higher the porosity of the grab bar surface, the less slip-resistance. Because Polyamide 6 Nylon is a closed pore product, PBA Nylon Grab Bars have significantly more hand-to-bar surface contact per square inch and the slip-resistance of PBA Nylon Grab Bars is significantly greater than peened steel surfaced grab bars. PBA Nylon products are highly slip-resistant even when wet.

ELECTRICALLY SAFE
PBA Nylon neither generates nor conducts electricity.

FIRE-SAFE
PBA Nylon products are rated UL 94 V-2 as a
self-extinguishable material that emits no toxic gases.

ANTI-CORROSIVE
PBA Nylon products will never crack, chip, peel, corrode or rust.

CODES AND STANDARDS COMPLIANT
PBA Nylon Products meet or exceed IBC, ANSI and ADA Standards, Canadian CSA Standards, and European Union EU Standards and Norms for safety, strength, load, deflection, and applications.

COMFORTABLE
Because of the unique attributes of nylon resin polyamide 6, PBA Nylon products are always warm to the touch since they reflect the heat of the human body nearly instantly. This attribute is particularly comforting to the very elderly and arthritis sufferers whose bodies are extremely sensitive to cold.
