Lightweight Yet Robust Protection for the Rolling Stock Industry
Designing locomotives, high-speed trains, metros and other rail vehicles is a constant search for the optimised combination of strength, safety and low weight.
To ensure operational reliability and safe transportation of people and goods, and to avoid the risk of damage or downtime, engineers look for the very best components and every detail that can make a difference – such as Roxtec cable and pipe seals. Roxtec has an impressive history of solving problems in the rolling stock industry. Roxtec sealing experts know what it takes to seal off around cables and pipes in fire rated barriers throughout the vehicle structure. They have developed penetration seals that fulfil the highest fire resistance requirements and cover the highest hazard levels. Roxtec has thereby become an important partner for many rolling stock manufacturers around the world, providing innovative seals that ensure certified protection against multiple hazards and offering sealing knowhow, design services and software that enable fit-for-purpose solutions. The Roxtec sealing system is recognised by and familiar to most operators, engineers and installers who focus on speed, safety and sustainability. This has made it convenient to standardise with Roxtec penetration seals to enable success on the global market and to secure easy maintenance and reliable operation wherever the rail vehicle will be rolling.
