Transportation

Composites, plastics and engineered wood products provide material properties crucial for Transportation Industry. It's essential to keep up excellent weight-strength ratio as well as good weathering properties.

Essential properties for materials used in transportation industries:

• Corrosion resistance
• Strength and stiffness
• Light weight
• Low or moderate price

Using non-combustible surface layer on the top of the part reaction to fire performance can be enhanced significantly without sacrificing other crucial properties.

Environmental aspects

Light weight wood, plastic and composite parts, like carbon fiber based products, are much lighter than typical metals and this leads to lower fuel consuption and easier handling of all kind of vehicles. These materials are good thermal insulators and contribute to the thermal efficiency of the application also: no cold bridges, no thermal leaks, no cold feeling. In addition to this, and as well known, the use of renewable or light weight materials reduces harmfull carbon dioxide level.

Light weight, sustainable products and components will be used in the future.

In a case of fire safety, the future is already here. All kind of wood, plastic or composites materials can be made fire safety without harmfull or environmentally hazardous chemicals. The protection works without loosing performance of selected base material.

Ceratol® protected environmentally friendly renewable or recycled materials like wood or wpc panels can be used in positions where fire safety requlations is otherwise preventing use.

In the most demanding applications, non-combustible Ceratol® products should be used, especially if reduced smoke level is required.
