MF775 (FR8775) Silicone Rubber
MF775 (FR8775) is a grey 73 shore A low smoke, low toxic silicone rubber specifically designed to manufacture rubber components where fire safe materials are critical in application (Rail). It has excellent resistance to UV and ozone combined with resistance to extremely low and hot temperatures (-55ºC to +200°C) and can be coloured using the RAL colour chart making it a suitable material for use on interior trims/partitioning.
MF775 is widely used by TFL on the London Underground as approved to fire safety standards EN45545-2, BS6853 Cat 1A and UL94 V-0 / HF-1.
MF775 silicone rubber can be produced in 3 formats, rolls which can then be slit to width (strips) or punched (die-cut) to form a gasket using our overhead presses. Extruded to shape, from simple U channels to more complex sections and finally moulded to suit the partitioning you are trying to seal within the rail vehicle.
LSLT EPDM (EPDM to EN45545-2) Rubber
LSLT EPDM rubber is available in 50, 60 & 70 shore A hardness and has excellent environmental resistance, withstanding Ozone, UV, rain, and frost. LSLT EPDM rubber is also resistant to corrosion, moisture, salt, and light fuels meaning the material is ideally suited for applications such as partitions within a rail vehicle.
LSLT EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) has been independently tested and certified by leading fire test laboratories throughout Europe and has been approved to fire safety standard EN45545-2 for rail.
