Rail industry
rail industry
After the automobile industry, public transportation is the largest industry that uses polymer materials to a significant extent. The use of polymer materials in the rail transport industry is increasing day by day.
Polymer materials are used in many different parts of trains, such as the production of rail components such as bogie frames, floor materials, traverses, switches, crossings, roofs, internal and external panels, cabins, toilets, furniture, doors, etc. can be
Increasing efficiency, beauty, greater safety, etc. are all advantages of using polymer materials in the rail industry. For example, research shows that around 30% of the weight of trains is reduced by using polymer materials.
These materials are a good alternative to existing metal components with durability, high stiffness and corrosion resistance. Features such as light weight and flexibility reduce fuel consumption. Also, the use of polymer materials in the railway industry is very affordable.
