03 — Applications

Every installation has a condition that decides the grade.

Start from the plant or the vehicle, not the product list. Each sector below sets out the conditions that actually break materials, and the combinations we usually recommend.

Heat treatment furnace with hot metal parts on the hearth

Sector

Rail transit

Barriers under floors and around brake and exhaust zones of rolling stock.

Underfloor equipment sits close to track debris, brake heat and wash-down water. Materials must stay put through vibration and periodic high-pressure cleaning.

What fails here

  • 01Space restrictions under the floor limiting insulation thickness
  • 02Water and detergent ingress into absorbent fiber
  • 03Fire and smoke behaviour requirements for interior materials

Before quoting

Smoke and fire data is provided per the tested system requested by the car builder.
