From a real need to a PUR solution

Every part begins with the end user's situation. We show how we turn real needs into product requirements and PUR solutions.

Railway — Compact integral PUR skin ensures a lifespan >10 years in intensive operation

Problem:

Thousands of passengers daily use handles and seats, so elements must be resistant to intensive wear and abrasion.

PUR solution:

Compact integral PUR skin ensures a lifespan >10 years in intensive operation.

Railway — We use flame-retardant formulations that pass EN 45545-2 tests at the required levels

Problem:

Rolling stock requires EN 45545-2 non-flammability certification, so materials must pass tests at HL1, HL2, or HL3 levels.

PUR solution:

We use flame-retardant formulations that pass EN 45545-2 tests at the required levels.

Railway — Smooth, non-porous integral skin does not accumulate bacteria and is resistant to chemicals

Problem:

Tactile elements must be disinfected multiple times a day, so the surface must be resistant to alcohol, chlorine, and virucidal agents.

PUR solution:

Smooth, non-porous integral skin does not accumulate bacteria and is resistant to chemicals.

Integral PUR vs traditional finishes

In household products, appearance matters, but so do durability, hygiene and user comfort. That's why it's worth seeing how integral PUR differs from more traditional solutions.

Integral PUR

  • EN 45545-2 certification (HL1–HL3) — meets non-flammability standards
  • Designed for over a decade of intensive operation by thousands of passengers daily
  • Smooth integral skin — easy disinfection, no bacteria accumulation
  • Vandalism resistance — scratches, graffiti, impacts
  • Mass dyeing in carrier's colors — consistency in series >10,000 pcs
—

Traditional solutions

  • ✕Difficulties with non-flammability certification — additional layers and tests
  • ✕Faster wear under intensive public operation
  • ✕Porous surfaces accumulate bacteria and hinder disinfection
  • ✕Easy scratches and damage during acts of vandalism
  • ✕Need for varnishing — discoloration and inconsistency between batches

Why does integral PUR work well in the railway industry?

Key properties of integral PUR and standards we meet in the railway.

Integral skin

The compact outer layer increases surface resistance and eliminates the need for additional upholstery.

Durability in operation

The designed lifespan for daily use in public vehicles is over 10 years.

Easy cleaning

The smooth, non-porous surface facilitates maintaining the hygiene of tactile elements.

RAL colors

Color matching to the carrier's visual identity — PKP, MPK, ZTM.

EN 45545-2

Non-flammability standard for materials in rail vehicles. Our formulations meet HL1, HL2, and HL3 requirements.

Vandalism resistance

Resistance tests for scratches, impacts, and graffiti — crucial in public transport.

How does collaboration work?

Have a sketch, idea or finished design? We'll help you go from concept to a finished PUR part tailored to your product and end user.

1

Application and standards analysis

We check where the detail will be mounted and what standards it must meet (EN 45545-2, ECE R118).

2

Material formulation selection

We select the PUR recipe for non-flammability, hardness, and chemical resistance requirements.

3

Mold design and certification

We design the mold taking into account assembly and repeatability. We conduct non-flammability tests.

4

Serial production with control

We carry out the series with quality control of each batch — dimensions, weight, color, surface.

5

Delivery with documentation

We deliver elements with EN 45545-2 certificates, measurement reports, and material cards.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to questions from manufacturers of household goods.

Yes — flame-retardant formulations pass EN 45545-2 tests at HL1, HL2, and HL3 levels. We select the level based on the detail's location in the vehicle.
