5M PUROXIT - Composite Panels for Public Transport
PUROXIT is a composite material that offers a lightweight yet robust alternative to plywood, achieving a 35% weight reduction without compromising mechanical strength. Engineered for high performance, it exhibits complete resistance to fire and saltwater, making it particularly suited for demanding environments. Additionally, PUROXIT has beneficial thermal insulation properties and noise-dampening capabilities. It complies with stringent fire-resistance norms, including the German DIN 5510-2 and the EN 45 545 European standards, making it an ideal choice for public transport floor structures in trains, trams, and buses. These panels not only contribute to weight efficiency but also enhance the safety and comfort of transport vehicles through their superior fire-resistant and acoustic properties.
Composite sandwich panels PUROXIT® are a revolutionary construction element that will allow your project to significantly reduce the weight when keeping excellent mechanical properties. Thanks to our long-term experience in the sphere of composite materials, we developed sandwich composite panels making a special core material with a very low weight, having fibreglass coating on both sides.
Thanks to materials chosen in the product, PUROXIT® is 35% lighter than plywood with the same thickness, simultaneously keeping identical mechanical properties. In addition to its complete resistance to fire (and salt water, too), its additional bonus consists of sufficient thermally-insulating properties, with the ability of dampening noise. The most important feature of the panels is their fire-resistance while PUROXIT® panels meet the requirements on being used in public transport means in compliance with the German norm DIN 5510-2 or the new European norm EN 45 545. Owing to this fact, the product has become the main application in floor structures of trains, trams or buses.
