Train interior glazing

Today’s public transportation industry is increasingly focused on safety. To create differentiated designs for new rail carriages or when refurbishing old ones, manufacturers seek the latest material solutions that meet current and upcoming safety regulations and provide additional benefits ranging from durability and anti-vandalism protection to improved aesthetics and lower weight and system cost reduction.

SABIC offers a portfolio of high performance, engineering rail, train and bus interior plastics, including resins, sheets, films and composites, designed explicitly for railway interiors that can:

  • Meet industry standards and fire resistance regulations;
  • Reduce overall system costs;
  • Enhance the aesthetics;
  • Provide safety and comfort of the train cabin environment.

The broad portfolio of materials for the rail interiors sector manufactured by SABIC can help manufacturers meet evolving fire safety requirements while delivering additional advantages. The company offers a one-stop-shop comprising new plastics solutions, assistance with materials and process selection and technical support services worldwide.

Rail interior plastics – weight out & part integration

Rail interior plastics from SABIC can help manufacturers address the growing demand for sustainability, lower system costs, improved durability and comfort and design innovation. Compared to metal and glass, these rail interior plastics can significantly lower system costs by consolidating parts to streamline production, avoiding secondary operations such as painting, coating, machining and polishing, and lower shipping costs by reducing weight. This while maintaining comfort and overall usability for passengers.
