Tags: low VOC, Railway Vehicles, noise damping
Passengers in the railcar as well as those waiting for their train must feel comfortable and safe during their entire journey. To ensure this the railway industry uses complex solutions to eliminate possible sources of noise, vibration, and rattling.
Noise conditions as well as aging materials, environmental changes, and track conditions pose many challenges for railway engineers. We are reducing noise, vibration, and rattling by offering a new generation of adhesive tapes that simplifying mounting and protection applications inside railway vehicles. Decades of experience in the automotive industry has allowed us to transfer experience and knowledge into the railway market. We’ve experimented and evaluated possible sources of noise and rattling throughout the train and have identified 3 product series that provide efficient solutions for the railway sector.
