PUR details for railway and rail transport
We manufacture passenger handles, armrests, covers, protective profiles, and finishing elements from integral skin polyurethane for trains, trams, subways, and public transport vehicles.
Who do we produce for?
We produce PUR parts for three main customer groups in the railway.
For rolling stock manufacturers
Passenger handles, armrests, and door profiles for regional trains, IC, and subways.
For train interior integrators
Master controllers, console covers, and ergonomic elements for rail vehicle driver cabins.
For operators and services
Spare parts and modernization elements for existing rolling stock — fast delivery, compatibility.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Application and standards analysis
Material formulation selection
Mold design and certification
Serial production with control
Delivery with documentation
Application and standards analysis
We check where the detail will be mounted and what standards it must meet (EN 45545-2, ECE R118).
Material formulation selection
We select the PUR recipe for non-flammability, hardness, and chemical resistance requirements.
Mold design and certification
We design the mold taking into account assembly and repeatability. We conduct non-flammability tests.
Serial production with control
We carry out the series with quality control of each batch — dimensions, weight, color, surface.
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.
