Overview
Alupanel Traffic Temporary is a substrate engineered specifically for short-term and worksite traffic management signage, where a balance of essential rigidity, light handling weight and cost-efficiency is required. Constructed with a 0.20mm aluminium skin bonded to a 100% recycled LDPE core, it provides the structural performance needed to support retroreflective sheeting and withstand worksite handling, whilst remaining lighter and more portable than permanent-grade panels.
Designed for rapid deployment in temporary traffic management, road works, event diversions and construction site signage, Alupanel Traffic Temporary provides sign contractors and hire companies with a reliable, cost-effective substrate that performs throughout the duration of a project, without the cost or weight of a permanent-grade panel. Its painted or mill-finish face provides a suitable surface for retroreflective sheeting and self-adhesive vinyl graphics; we recommend confirming compatibility with your film supplier.
Available in standard sheet sizes, Alupanel Traffic Temporary is a practical, value-conscious choice for high-volume temporary traffic management programmes where durability, portability and competitive unit cost are the key priorities.
