Rail Interior Components
Trends in rail equipment all point to weight reduction as operators seek to minimize energy consumption and wear to vehicle parts and infrastructure. Just as important are beauty and ease of maintenance. Designers may find creative answers by using SABIC materials for large expanses of wall cladding, ceiling panels, and even exterior cladding.
SABIC offers material solutions that provide strength, lightweight and high quality aesthetics. Options in resins, sheet and film offer virtually unlimited geometries and compliance with critical regulatory specifications. The Rail-Lite† composite offered by AZDEL, Inc., and LEXAN™, CYCOLOY™, ULTEM™ and GELOY™ resins from SABIC offer tough, yet aesthetically outstanding and easily-formed sheet and molding materials to help meet design needs.
