Rail

Rail car honeycomb applications include lighter and stronger materials to enable the manufacturer to build structures that travel faster with reduced environmental impact. Lightweight applications in the rail industry are similar to those in the aircraft industry where best manufacturing practices utilize Stainless Steel, Aluminum and Nomex Honeycomb Cores to build the best rail car systems. Rail car floors, doors, ceilings and bulkheads incorporate honeycomb cored sandwich structures. In addition, Plascore Honeycomb Core is utilized as an energy absorber in nose cones and rear sections of rail cars to provide a safety feature in the event of an unintended impact.Rail
