(Bad Grönenbach, Germany) reports that it is expanding its portfolio of flame-retardant materials for use in railway technology applications with two new sustainable products, Maywoflamm plus RC and Maywoflamm NFPA RC. Both products can be manufactured using up to 70% recycled material, making it possible to increase sustainability in customer applications. Maywoflamm plus RC complies with the European railway standard EN 45545-2:2020, classification R6/HL2; Maywoflamm NFPA RC is testing according to NFPA 130 and BSS7239:1988 and can therefore be used in the American region. Both materials are characterized by their low weight compared to metallic materials and their high mechanical strength.

“We have defined sustainability as one of the most important strategic areas for the future,” explains Franz Lübbers, CEO of Röchling Industrial. “It is important to us to take responsibility and contribute to a sustainable future. Of course, we have focused on the needs of our customers.” The high recycled content helps customers achieve their sustainability goals. The use of high-quality recycled material conserves resources and closes loops.

“With the launch, we are offering our railway sector customers sustainable products that meet the relevant requirements for use in railway technology applications,” says Simon Kathmann, head of sales and marketing at Röchling Industrial Allgäu. “We are excited to now bring these sustainable alternatives to the market.”
