The combination of studded design and specially formulated rubber compound gives the patented rail pads a unique high resilience and abrasion resistance.
Their superiority to those manufactured from other materials has been proven by their ability to reduce dynamic forces by up to 65%, which is a crucial consideration for railway systems worldwide as they adopt higher speeds and greater axle loads.
