Tubocolor line

Vinyl

coated grab bars

The “tubocolor” project still retains its distinc

tive charac

-

ter and originality, despite having been imitated, as does

its appeal on the market – not only the domestic one.

This is

due above all to its distinctive features: a surface

that is warm to the touch, non-slip, and a seamless,

electrically insulated body.

The coa

ting on the handles is a PVC compound,

produced using addi

tives such as stabilisers, plasticis-

ers, lubricants and pigments; however, the compound

used by Ponte Giulio has been specifically develope

d

and op

timised to ensure it is non-toxic, biocompatibl

e

and

fire-resistant. These features are complemented by

an

tibacterial properties guaranteed by an additive from

Biocote®, a UK-based company, whose technology Ponte

Giulio has chosen to incorporate into its products.

Even today, more than thirty years on, although the rang

e

has benefited from many improvements – both me-

chanical and in terms of components, but above all wit

h

regard

to the coating – the ‘Tubocolor’ handles, as well as

all the

other ranges that have in some way derived from

them: ‘Morphos’, ‘Maxima’ and ‘Urban People’ are s

till

manufactured using the same processes developed over

thirty years ago. This demonstrates the soundness of th

e

design and the effectiveness of the industrial processes

which, despite their simplicity, remain relevant despite

the passage of

time.
