Railway Transportation
EN45545-certified, lightweight, and flame-retardant components for railway vehicles
In the railway and road transportation sectors, the use of engineering polymers makes it possible to reduce vehicle weight, improve comfort, and ensure durability even under harsh operating conditions.
Tecno Plastic supplies certified, high-performance plastic solutions compliant with EN45545 railway standards for critical components inside railway carriages.
Materials such as PA6G FR, POM, and PEEK offer high mechanical performance, fire resistance, and excellent dimensional stability, providing a smart and long-lasting alternative to traditional metals.
Problems solved in railway and articulated transport
- Excessive weight reducing efficiency and speed
- Wear of sliding shoes, guides, and wheels under dynamic loads
- Need for flame-retardant, certified materials
- Failures caused by impact, vibration, and harsh environmental conditions
Advantages of plastic materials in railway transportation
- EN45545 compliance for railway environments
- Reduction of overall vehicle weight
- Natural electrical and thermal insulation
- High resistance to wear and weathering
- Self-lubrication and low friction for smooth movement
Recommended materials
- PA6G FR / PA6G / PA6G + MoS₂ – Cast nylon for lightweight and durable structures
- POM – Excellent sliding properties and stability for wheels and sliding shoes
- PEEK – Resistance to heat and mechanical stress in critical areas
- PTFE / PE – For guides and sliding applications in humid and variable environments
