Which material combination meets which requirements? The new BÜFA®-Firestop Railway Guide provides a concise overview of suitable composite systems for rail vehicle construction – including tested system combinations and their classifications in accordance with EN 45545-2.
The fire performance requirements for composite components in rail transport are stringent. The key factor here is not just the selection of individual products, but the interaction between the gelcoat, resin system, laminate structure and manufacturing process.This is precisely where the new Railway Guide from BÜFA Composite Systems comes in. At the heart of the brochure is a clear presentation of tested system combinations with their respective HL2 and HL3 classifications. Whether hand-lay-up, vacuum infusion or RTM: the guide helps developers and processors navigate the selection of suitable materials.
At the same time, it showcases the breadth of the BÜFA®-Firestop portfolio – from BÜFA®-Firestop-Gelcoat-S 320 to high-performance resin systems, including those based on rPET.
More than just individual products: complete system solutions
BÜFA combines carefully matched material components with comprehensive expertise in application and processing. The system combinations listed in the guide provide a sound basis for material selection.
As compliance with the required classification also depends on the specific component design and processing conditions, BÜFA further supports its customers with technical advice, application technology and preliminary tests.
The Railway Guide thus offers not only a concise product overview, but also a direct introduction to the development of suitable fire-retardant system solutions.
