SCIGRIP has a long history of working in the rail market including passenger trains, metro systems, light rail, and specialist rolling stock manufacturing.

Rail
Proven in Rail Manufacturing
We are trusted by leading rail vehicle builders worldwide for bonding strength, industry-leading fatigue and impact resistance, minimal surface preparation, lightweight durability, and flexibility for a wide range of interior and exterior applications.
In modern rail vehicle manufacturing, performance starts at the bond line.
Mechanical fixings add weight and complexity, and welding is often unsuitable for composite panels and mixed material assemblies.
SCIGRIP structural adhesives provide a seamless, reliable and aesthetically pleasing alternative. They utilise dissimilar material bonding, multiple working times, minimal surface preparation, impact resistant gap filling and provide reduced bondline readthrough, environmental resistance and a clean and finished look.
SCIGRIP products solve challenges
Structural Integrity
Excellent for bonding steel, aluminium, FRP and composite materials across roof structures, body panels, bracket assemblies and underframes. High strength bonds capable of carrying static and dynamic loads while meeting the stringent safety standards demanded by the rail industry, including EN45545-2 fire compliance.
Production Efficiency
Quicker fixture time allows large assemblies such as roof structures, rail doors and body panels to be bonded and moved earlier in the production process, with minimal surface preparation and the ability to replace traditional rivets, screws and welds.
Excellent Environmental and Chemical Resistance
Bond strength is maintained after extended exposure to harsh outdoor environments, constant vibration, severe impact and the wide temperature extremes and weather conditions encountered across rail networks worldwide.
Design Freedom
Large range of working times, bond dissimilar substrates without visible fasteners, non-sag characteristics to fill gaps across large structures, noise dampening properties for passenger comfort, and the ability to bond lightweight composites to reduce overall vehicle weight.
