It has been specifically designed and fire rated for both overground and underground rail use – the composite structural system easily passes BS 6853 and BS 476, as well as being EN 45545 HL3 compliant.
TRB can now offer the rail industry a sustainable composite material option for carriage door leaves at a comparable cost to aluminium-bonded alternatives, with a 35% weight saving.
