Rail transport is pivotal for global connectivity, especially in densely populated areas. Futureway contributes to its advancement through innovative material solutions. By ensuring the efficient and sustainable operation of the global transportation network, Futureway plays a key role in meeting the rising demand for subways, light rail, and high-speed rail, supporting essential social and economic activities worldwide.
Due to the high passenger capacity, short operation intervals, complex structural design, and harsh working conditions characteristic of rail transit, it is crucial for trains to maintain prolonged stability and reliability. The long-term effective sealing of key systems such as the traction system, braking system, HVAC system, and lighting system is a vital aspect of ensuring the reliable operation of the vehicle. Consequently, the application requirements for sealing materials in these systems are extremely stringent.
Meets rail industry standards for smoke, flame, and toxicity
Stress relaxation affects long-term operational reliability
Resistant to ultraviolet rays, ozone, extreme temperatures, and chemicals.
Excellent resistance to compression set is essential
Selecting materials with suitable compression stress is crucial
For achieving effective sealing and long-term reliability, the selection of materials is crucial. Futureway® Extruded Silicone Sponges is a high-performance elastomeric material developed specifically to meet the unique requirements of the rail transit industry. Not only does it exhibit excellent resilience and durability, but it also meets fire protection standards like EN 45545-2 and other design specifications for the rail transit industry. Through extrusion molding processes, it can be custom-developed flexibly according to structural needs, enhancing sealing protection reliability while significantly reducing maintenance costs in the long run.
With the rapid development of modern rail transit technology, the interior system, as an essential part of the train, must not only meet safety requirements during high-speed operation but also maximize passenger comfort, durability of use, environmental friendliness, and achieve lightweight design. As the foundation of interior components, superior materials can significantly enhance the performance of these interior parts.
