Visit Prismo at Intertraffic 2010 Stand 01.410
Between 23-26th March 2010, Prismo will be exhibiting at the Intertraffic Show in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
This year is the 20th anniversary of Intertraffic Amsterdam. Over 800 exhibitors from more than 40 countries – with virtually the entire top 50 global concerns in attendance – will show a comprehensive overview of the latest industry trends and developments. Intertraffic 2010 offers an even wider range of categories so as to ensure the most convenient segmentation possible for visitors.
Prismo’s stand is situated in Hall 1, stand 410. Our stand design has been developed with maximum focus on demonstrating our extensive range of road markings and traffic products. Customers will be able to get up close to a wide range of products which have been laid on to the stand floor itself. Products that have been laid include examples of anti skid decorative coverings and preformed thermoplastic, as well as a large selection of white lining solutions
The stand also incorporates a ‘Wet Night Visibility’ room, designed to demonstrate the incredible performance of Primso’s Colourbright and Rainline products in wet conditions.

High Friction Surfacing in Southern Ireland
February 21, 2010 - posted in Antiskid, Awards, International News, Prismo Group, Road Safety, Safety Solutions
The most recent trial approved by the The National Roads Authority of Ireland (NRA) was on a very busy main road near Dublin which had seen 21 fatalities over the last 3 years. A significant contributing factor was a steep downhill section of Asphalt road approaching a junction where, particularly in wet conditions and heavy traffic, vehicles were unable to stop quickly enough.Tyregrip was specified and, to allow for the incline and prevent loss of Epoxy on such a steep slope, cellulose fibres were also recommended and added to the Epoxy mix.
This worked well and in very difficult traffic management conditions the 2000m2 downhill to the junction was completed over a two-day period in September and the NRA has already suggested that if it proves a success Tyregrip will be specified for the entire region.
Magic at Trafflex 2009

In a month when the predicted cuts on public spending were announced in the Chancellor’s budget, Prismo Road Markings Ltd exhibited at the NEC Birmingham on what turned out to be a very busy ‘Traffex’ show and one that appeared to be bucking the economic trend.
At the show, which ran from Tuesday 21st April until Thursday 23rd April, there was little sign that visitors were taking any notice of the current financial climate, arriving at the show in good numbers and showing positive interest in the products being displayed.
Many visitors headed straight for the Prismo stand, strategically positioned opposite the ‘Traffex’ café, spurred on by the word getting round that ‘magic’ was being conjured up on stand F80. They were lured by a magician who wowed the crowds with tricks, whilst at the same time, of course, introducing the products manufactured by the road safety markings company.
Prismo manufactures products that provide their own ‘safety’ magic too. Prismo’s Colourbright system is a good example. During the day, the patented safety solution acts as a coloured delineation and alerts drivers to potential road hazards. The real ‘trick’, however, occurs at night, when the vehicle’s headlights are reflected back from the Colourbright surface and the road surface lights up as a warning to the approaching driver.
Judging by the number of visitors to the Prismo stand over the three-day Traffex event, the magician proved a real success with many visitors directly commenting about the Prismo stand being much busier than its neighbours. Proof positive then that Prismo has the products, solutions and services that remain in demand to meet today’s road infrastructure issues. And that’s no illusion!
