This includes DIN EN 45545-2, ASTM E1354, ASTM E662, ASTM C1166, BSS 7239, SMP 800C which are supplied to railway engineering companies internationally.
Conformity with these standards ensured by EMKA forms a secure foundation for the range of applications that sealing profiles are called to fulfil leaving design and installation engineers only to check that the material meets their specific requirements.
To this end, their engineers advise that there are many advantages of profiles made of Ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (EPDM) fire protection compound including flame retardant properties for more safety, plus significant cost savings compared to silicone seals and the ability to provide readily customised frames and rings with “sealed joints” ready for instant installation.
Standard sections for railway applications include spring-cored clip on “P” types “D” types, edge protectors, and channel-fitted sections for all sorts of enclosures, cabinets and access panels where sealing or protection is an important part of their function. In addition, custom profiles are frequently developed for individual applications, with individual product geometry according to specific customer requirements. Examples may be seen in sealing profiles for railway and fire protection.
