Rail interior plastics – weight out & part integration

Rail interior plastics from POLYVANTIS can help manufacturers address the growing demand for sustainability, lower system costs, improved durability and comfort and design innovation. Compared to metal and glass, these rail interior plastics can significantly lower system costs by consolidating parts to streamline production, avoiding secondary operations such as painting, coating, machining and polishing, and lower shipping costs by reducing weight. This while maintaining comfort and overall usability for passengers.

Anti-vandalism train interior glazing

Train interior glazing from POLYVANTIS provides ease of cleaning, protection against graffiti and high impact performance to resist vandalism.

LEXAN™ Solid Sheet - MARGARD™ Sheet

LEXAN MARGARD™ sheet can be an excellent choice to reduce railcar weight by replacing traditional glass, offering excellent abrasion and chemical resistance.  The train interior glazing complies with the German rail standard, the French rail standard and the Italian rail standard. Additionally, the MARGARD sheet can reduce weight, high impact strength, forced entry protection, graffiti resistance, excellent flame retardance, and UV- and abrasion resistance. LEXAN MARGARD sheet can be an ideal candidate for the compartment partitions.
