 High-tech Polyurethane Materials
for Rolling Stock from Getzner

The exceptional vibration insulating effect of Getzner

solutions is largely based on the vibration insulat-
ing properties of the Getzner polyurethane materials
Sylomer®, Sylodyn® and Sylodamp®.

These materials were specially developed to insulate and

absorb shocks and vibrations. Over decades they have
proven themselves in countless applications, including in
the railway infrastructure, where a life expectancy of up to
50 years is required.

Sylomer® Fire-retardant was specially developed for

elastic floating floors for rolling stock and is certified to
DIN EN 45545-2.

Sylomer® Fire-retardant is certified

according to:

— DIN EN 45545-2 for usage in floors

with HL 3 certification
— DIN 5510-2 (Germany)
— BS 6853 (UK)
— NFPA 130 (US)
— JRMA (Japan)

High-tech vibration protection in carriage floors

Sylomer® bearing product benefits: Improves noise
— High elasticity and no permanent deflection levels by up to
(effective in a wide frequency range) 7 dB(A)
— Reduced carriage floor construction height
— Outstanding creep behaviour (no cracks in gaskets)
— Resistant to hydrolysis
— A wide range of products for various load ranges
— Simple processing
— Low construction height and weight
— Resistant to chemicals and oils
— Materials tested in accordance with fire standards DIN EN 45545-2,
DIN 5510-2, NF F 16-101, NFPA 130 and JRM

Sylomer® floating floors for rolling stock

are highly effective despite their low
construction height.

Sylomer® Aluminium
Vibration Damper

Exceptionally light vibration protection made from high-tech polyure-

thane Sylomer® combined with aluminium
Products developed with Hydro, the leading manufacturer of aluminium profiles

Product benefits of Sylomer® Aluminium Vibration Damper:

— High elasticity and no permanent deflection
— Simple screw-mounting reduces installation time and costs
— Elastic Sylomer® inserts help to offset tolerances during installation
— Various types for different live loads
— Flammability in accordance with DIN EN 45545-2
— Low installation height of 30 mm
— Aluminium profile designed for maximum loads in a rear-end collision
— Total weight per metre approx. 3 kg
— Sylomer® Aluminium Vibration Dampers can be flexibly adapted to the
customer's requirements

The aluminium-based floating floors

for rolling stock allow rail vehicle
manufacturers to make weight
savings whilst increasing comfort for
passengers.
