    Sealing Applications for Rail Transport

    Saint-Gobain silicone seals are designed for several parts of a train car (eg.train bogie) and offer such physical properties as great vibration and tear resistance ,good elongation at break ,and more. Our Solutions are also adaptable to meet any constraint you may encounter.Click here to download a brochure

    Our capabilities cover a wide range of train wagon body structures and interior parts, including:

    bogie tgv
    train bogie image

    Part 1 : HVAC Seals

    Silicone profile are used in this demanding part of the wagon, where outside conditions and a high level of vibrations are encountered.

    Part 2 : Lighting Gaskets

    Silicone seals provide a more durable option in this application.

    Part 3 : Door Seals

    These seals are usually very complex, ask our engineers what solution best fit your need!

    Part 4 : Window Gaskets

    Window gaskets are required to have the perfect design for a safer applications and must resist critical conditions and cleaning agents.

    Part 5 : Floor Panels

    One of the numerous applications of silicone inside a wagon.

    Part 6 : Ducting Gaskets

    Choose a peace of mind solution for this part where maintenance tasks are usually complex…and expensive!

    Part 7 : Panels Seals

    You can choose from one of our 50 colors and our custom designs to better fit the asthetics of your cabin.
