Applications - PT FirstOne® in Wagon Construction
The highly efficient construction material for innovative fire protection shows its strengths in practice.
Due to the constantly increasing demands on modern vehicles and the resulting new challenges, innovative protection systems for people are becoming increasingly important.
The concept of PT FirstOne® is completely new.
PT FirstOne®, our material with very good insulating properties and excellent fire protection properties, is explicitly suitable for use in wagon construction.
In addition to the legally required protective effect, they also enable a design aesthetic that is unsurpassed in this area.
PT FirstOne® - superior fire protection
In wagon construction, the load-bearing structures are typically made of steel or aluminium; a technology that has proven itself over decades. Since metals are good heat conductors, they must be sufficiently insulated at critical points.
This applies above all to the points that are connected to the interior fittings, for example doors, the roof area and the seat fastening.
Design freedom
Other advantages compared to other, similar materials are the low weight, the ease of processing and the design freedom that allows any geometric shape.
Security
Passenger safety in rail vehicles is becoming increasingly important, which is reflected in a significant tightening of standards .
Naturally, PT FirstOne® has been tested and approved according to the latest European fire safety standards.
Our material clearly exceeds most specific rules and regulations.
Regulations and standards
This means that PT FirstOne® already offers the highest level of passenger safety today and is also ideally suited for future, more restrictive regulations. From the very beginning, the development of PT FirstOne® focused on human safety. The material is completely non-toxic even under extreme temperature stress.
