Rail Construction

Investment decisions by public transport authorities are now increasingly based on life-cycle costs, not just on purchasing prices per unit.

Nowadays, more hybrid structures are being used in order to keep life-cycle costs at a low level. Traditional fastening techniques - most notably welding - can no longer be used in modular construction. They would damage heat-sensitive components made from plastics or other modern composites - and they often require extensive finishing work.

Sikaflex products are the ideal adhesives for rail assemblies where materials of different kinds need to be fastened together with a permanent, elastic bond.
