In a rail fire, immediate evacuation may be physically impossible, especially in tunnels. Did you know that in these enclosed environments, smoke and toxic fumes are a bigger threat than the flames?

Using standard industrial rubber for interior gaskets can have catastrophic consequences, acting as a fuel and creating blinding smoke. That’s why the rail industry relies on EN45545-2—the European standard that regulates the fire, smoke, and toxicity properties of all rail components.

Choosing EN45545-2 gaskets for everything from door seals to HVAC systems is non-negotiable.

Solving Low-Closure Force Sealing Challenges

When protecting fragile components like LCD screens or light-gauge plastics, you need a seal that provides maximum environmental protection with minimal pushback. Enter BF1000 and BF2000 silicone foam.

☑️ Prevents cracking and bowing with ultra-low compression
☑️ Superior vibration dampening to protect sensitive parts
☑️ Fully EN45545-2 compliant for rail passenger safety

When a fire breaks out inside a rail carriage, passenger safety relies on how long internal seals can delay the spread of flames and toxic smoke. 🚆🔥

In our latest technical guide, we break down why BF2000 silicone foam strips and gaskets are the ultimate choice for mass transit interiors. Not only do these ultra-soft seals prevent light-gauge panels from bowing, but they also meet strict EN45545-2 HL3 safety requirements.

By maintaining low smoke density and preventing toxic gas emissions, BF2000 directly extends the crucial time window for safe passenger evacuation.
