Kisling Structural Adhesives Receive Fire-Related Certifications for Rail Transport
Kisling selected a number of its adhesives to be extensively tested in a special fire laboratory.
Kisling AG recently announced that its ergo® range of structural adhesives has been tested and certified to meet fire protection requirements in rail transport vehicles. Passenger safety plays a central role in rail transport, which naturally includes fire protection. The fire behavior of materials used, including adhesives and sealants, must be intensively tested and classified.
Toxic gases and smoke, which need to be examined in detail, can develop in the event of fire, particularly when plastics and adhesives are involved. Flammability and continued burning behavior (in the event of fire) are also important technical properties to take into account when selecting these materials.
