PolyOne is features oil-resistant ECCOH(TM) compounds for wire and cable that meet the rigorous fire safety standards imposed by international railway regulations. These materials are part of PolyOne’s advanced flame-retardant, low smoke and fume, zero halogen (LSFOH) technology platform, and are on display at the PolyOne exhibit located in Hall 9 / Stand B38. Cables and accessories in the railway industry are used in a variety of infrastructure and rolling stock applications, and cover underground, railways, subways, trams and mass rapid transit propulsion equipment. Fire protection is of paramount importance in the railway industry. The vulnerability factor for railcars is high because elevated tracks and tunnels can make evacuation during a fire difficult and dangerous. While it is important that materials be flame retardant to withstand ignition and limit flame propagation, it is equally important to address other factors including smoke generation, toxicity, dripping, and corrosiveness. Fire safety management for rolling stock is becoming an increasingly complex issue due to constant changes in technical and regulatory environments. In addition to these changes, the development of new technologies and systems means that fire protection approaches must be constantly reviewed. At the stand, applications will highlight how PolyOne’s latest ECCOH(TM) LSFOH solutions and developments can help the wire and cable industry increase fire safety for rolling stock applications.
