Four applications and three 3M adhesive solutions for trains!

As some of you already know, at Fustier we have a long history working with adhesive solutions for applications in trains and the railway sector. Today we bring you 4 frequent applications and we will tell you about the benefits of using 3 specific adhesive solutions for these applications. We hope they are useful to you!

Installation of flooring

This is a common application, where the best alternative to mechanical fixings is custom-made self-adhesive flooring, which is laminated with our 3M™ VHB tapes and will provide you with the following benefits, including:

Adhesive solution without odours or solvents and compliant with the European Fire and Smoke regulation EN45545
Sound and thermal insulation.
Reduced drying and preparation times, as the self-adhesive laminate flooring adheres immediately (lay and walk on)
Customised and cut to size.Also adapted to roll dimensions to optimise material.
Improved floor maintenance processes (cohesive break tapes that can be replaced without damaging the train substrates).

Example of references that we use to laminate self-adhesive floors: 3M™ VHB GPH-060GF, 3M™ VHB GPH-110GF or 3M™ VHB GPH-160GF

Assembly of door, window and luggage compartment panels

3M™ VHB tapes are an excellent alternative for these applications, both for the ease and speed they provide when assembling or installing doors, trunks or windows, as well as for their sealing capacity, noise absorption and vibrations.

Some references that can be used for these applications: 3M™ VHB GPH, 3M™ VHB 4941 or 3M™ VHB 4991

Fitting of window frames and roof panels

For the mounting application of train window frames the best alternative to traditional fixings are 3M™ Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners SJ3550CF in the black version, or 3M™ Dual Lock SJ3560 in the transparent version. a solution in which neither the SIZE, nor the WEIGHT… nor the type of MATERIAL, THICKNESS OR FINISH… and which also provides benefits such as:

Ease of preparing and assembling the panels.
Reduction of noise and vibrations, providing greater passenger comfort
They help make the vehicle lighter and more efficient.
Better end finish.
Easily removable, which simplifies subsequent maintenance tasks.
