Regulators, operators, manufacturers, and suppliers must now respond to the needs of people who want to see the mass transportation they use demonstrate a real commitment to innovation, sustainability, and customer centricity. With our history and experience in transit, vehicle experts can help you find ways to optimize the manufacturing processes and drive down costs, reduce weight, increase durability, and improve reliability for trains and buses.
Elastic bonding has been used for decades in the rail industry to join dissimilar structural materials, including panels, walls, roofs, and floors. Our high-strength structural adhesives replace welds, rivets, and mechanical fasteners to enable assembly of lightweight designs and optimize acoustic performance, which also contributes to overall weight reduction.
