Railway engineering demands the highest degree of quality due to the fact that our thermoplastic components are safety-relevant. We therefore guarantee traceability of our entire railway-certified thermoplastic component product range.
Aareplast AG is specialised in heat resistant plastics featuring the highest level of surface leakage resistance (insulation properties). Furthermore, they are chemical resistant and hardly flammable (flame-resistant). These materials made of thermosetting plastics are mainly used for manufacturing switch disconnectors, vacuum interrupters and circuit-breakers.
A major proportion of thermoplast switches are intended for outdoor applications, e.g. for catenary systems or pantographs on towing vehicles.
Our plastics solutions for railway engineering:
- switch disconnectors
- circuit-breakers
- vacuum disconnectors
- insulation components
- components for relais
Requirements for railway engineering plastics:
- DIN EN 45545-2, Hazard Level 3 (HL3)
- surface leakage resistance
- heat resistance
- weather resistance
- flame resistance
- chemical resistance
