Whether it’s going to work or on a trip with the family, train travel is in increasing demand. Passenger safety is quintessential for a great travel experience. That is why we take fire safety guidelines very serious by meeting the demands of rail vehicle manufacturers and ensuring carefree train journeys. Our adhesive tapes are often used in components that provide travel comfort such as the seats, wall claddings, and displays.
Introducing our new fire-certified tesafix® 4965 adhesive tape
We believe there can be no cutting corners when safety is concerned. That’s why we heavily invest in testing and developing fire protection tape for the railway vehicle industry. tesafix® 4965, our latest fire-certified tape is the first of its range. tesafix® 4965 is a transparent double-sided self-adhesive tape consisting of a PET backing and a tackified acrylic adhesive. Thanks to its outstanding technical properties this extensively tested adhesive tape fulfils all the requirements of DIN EN 45545-2 R1 and HL3, the highest hazard level. The tests involved are as follows:
- Heat release
- Smoke generation (smoke density and toxicity)
- Lateral flame spread (speed of burning)
The outcome is an efficient and certified fire protection for interior and exterior applications in railway vehicles – this even applies for double-decker vehicles operated underground or in tunnels
Together, we are always on track
We are continuously investing in the testing and evaluation of our adhesive tape solutions. We are committed to partnering with our customers to learn, gather and share know-how with the mission to build on this expertise. Together we can create product profiles that are suitable for hazardous situations and meet both local and regional regulations for a more efficient and safer railway industry.
