Aliancys resins used in China's high speed rail trains

Aliancys, a leading global company active in the sales of quality resins for composite applications, has announced that Aliancys resins are used in China's High Speed Rail (HSR) network, a vital element of the country's infrastructure. The HSR trains contain numerous composite components, bringing lightweight, energy efficiency, and passenger protection.

Travellers inside the high speed train enjoy the experience of fast, safe, and comfortable transportation, and typically are not aware of all the technology and unique materials surrounding them. The materials used in this type of application need to fulfil high quality and performance standards. The structure has to be strong and protect the passengers at all times, resisting rough handling and potential impacts. Fire resistant materials are required that generate only limited smoke in an eventual fire situation.

The use of composite materials in high speed train applications brings major benefits. These benefits include strength and stiffness, design freedom (optimised shape for best possible aerodynamics, optimised interior design for passenger wellbeing and easy cleaning), light weight (resulting in energy efficiency and fast train acceleration), and great manufacturing ability in medium-size production series.

Changchun Lu Tong Rail Vehicle Co. Ltd. (CLTR) is one of the leading Chinese manufacturers making train components. The company makes many different parts and modules, including front exterior trims, interior walls and components, spoilers, and integrated sanitary units.

Li Yan, chief technical division of CLTR said, “The Quality Resins of Aliancys are very well known in our industry. The resin consistency and the technical support we receive from Aliancys, help us to make great products with predictable performance.”

Aliancys has been a key supplier in China of fire retardant resin systems, used by most important train manufacturers for making train components.

Ge Ping, technical service manager of Aliancys China said, “We like to work very closely with our customers during the design, testing and production scale-up phases. We offer the full solution of base resin, resin mix recipes, and processing support at our customer's operation. In that way we help to build a long lasting collaboration with the engineers at different train manufacturers.” (GK)
