Industrial Inflatable Seals: Active Sealing and Critical Errors
Technical guide on industrial inflatable seals, their operation, railway sector applications, and common errors to avoid.
Manufacturing of silicone railway seals and profiles with formulations tested under EN 45545-2 and UL94 V-0. Production under an ISO 9001 management system in a certified ISO 8 Cleanroom environment.
The European railway sector imposes extreme requirements in key areas such as fire safety, vibration resistance, and exposure to chemical agents and UV radiation. At ProSilicones64, we develop VMQ formulations tested under EN 45545-2 (HL2-HL3), manufactured under an ISO 9001 system with strict dimensional control in an ISO 8 cleanroom. All components are produced with full traceability and documented validation according to REACH and RoHS.
The following standards regulate material testing and process control in the manufacture of silicone railway components:
| Normativa | Ámbito de aplicación |
|---|---|
| EN 45545-2 | Fire, smoke, and toxicity testing for materials in rolling stock (formulation testing) |
| UL94 V-0 | Flammability classification of polymers (formulation testing) |
| EN 61373 | Vibration and mechanical shock testing in railway components |
| ISO 9001 | Quality management system certification (manufacturing process) |
| ISO 8 Cleanroom | Certified environment compliant with ISO 14644 for critical components |
| REACH / RoHS | Chemical compatibility and control of restricted substances |
