The Resistance of PU rubber for the railway industry
Polyurethane rubber withstands heavy loads and protect railway infrastructure against wear, noise, vibrations, and deformation.
Performance, Safety, Noise ReductionFIMOR Uses Polyurethane for the Railway Industry
FIMOR Polyurethane has developed serilor® polyurethane blends that meet the specific requirements of the railway industry (high-speed trains, urban and intercity lines, subways, trams, and rail maintenance), where all materials are subjected to heavy impacts, severe shocks, constant friction, and a wide variety of environmental and climatic conditions.
A complete range For the railway industry
Polyurethane effectively replaces wood and metal in many applications and can often be attached to a wide variety of supports. Polyurethane molded parts have also found their place in the maintenance of rolling stock.
FIMOR offers you innovative products that play a major role in the daily operations of your teams working in the railway sector.
Our products are certified and used by SNCF RESEAU and SNCF VOYAGEURS.

More Comfort Every DayTechnical products that enhance safety and reduce noise pollution
Through our noise-reducing strips and coatings, we offer effective technical solutions for the railway industry. Familiar with the railway sector, our teams and researchers are dedicated to continuously developing more innovative solutions for you.
Safety
Our polyurethane elastomer strips ensure the safety of platform operators. The ease of installation and the format tailored to train dimensions make our strips a key asset for team safety. The folding strips help prevent accidental falls of your platform staff, with an accordion deployment along loading docks (both railway and heavy truck platforms).
Noise Reduction
We have also developed techniques to drastically reduce the noise from ballast yards. This noise nuisance can be mitigated by our ballast chute liners or noise-reducing mats installed in bins, for example. The noise can be reduced by up to 8 times, providing unparalleled comfort for your teams, allowing them to communicate more effectively and enjoy better hearing protection.
Moving Forward to ExcellenceWhy Use Polyurethane in the Railway Industry?
Polyurethane serilor® offers the following benefits:
- High Mechanical Resistance: Excellent resistance to abrasion, tearing, and wear.
- High Chemical Resistance: Effective against oils, solvents, hydrocarbons, and other chemicals.
- Flexibility: serilor®PROTEC’s flexibility allows it to adapt to degraded or deformed surfaces.
- Outdoor Durability: Formulated for outdoor use with resistance to UV rays, hydrolysis, and more.
- Long-Term Performance: Outstanding durability, even in harsh industrial environments.
- Versatile Adhesion: Can be bonded to all types of materials.
Regarding noise on ballast wagons, FIMOR has equipped over 2,000 SNCF RESEAU wagons and 30 INFRABEL wagons. The feedback has been positive, highlighting the effectiveness in noise reduction, polyurethane durability, and the reliability of rivets and glue.
