Tape Solutions for Rail
Trains play an increasing role in modern mobility concepts and our tapes are designed to help engineers build trains that can lift ridership to the next level. Ensuring safety, health and hygiene on board and improving passenger comfort are essential to meet today’s railroad travel experience demands and those of the future. Railcar design engineers trust the flexibility and consistent performance of our tapes that go beyond connecting parts. They help to protect passengers from fire or toxic smoke while increasing the travel experience through superior vibration and sound absorption. In addition, the use of our tapes to protect sensitive electronic components from intrusion of air, moisture, temperature or mechanical stresses reduces risks and wear. Tested to industry standards and verified to meet or exceed most requirements for railcar applications, find out which of our products are best for your thermal insulation, access panel sealing, intake gasketing, HVAC sealing and electronic enclosure gasketing applications.
Tape Solutions for Increased Safety and Comfort
Tape Solutions for Mass Transit Rail
Our range of gasketing foams and tapes is designed for a variety of mass transit railcar applications and includes silicone foam rubbers and closed-cell silicone sponge rubber, as well as fire-blocking polyurethane foams that provide excellent protection against air, fire, vapour, moisture, dirt, and sound, functioning as gaskets.
