“Divinycell P has approvals from all the major rail transport classification societies (e.g. AFNOR NF F 16-101, DIN 5510) and is widely used in sandwich composite solutions for railway coaches and interiors in projects all over the world”, says Thomas Skoglund, DIAB’s Global Transportation Manager.

Composite core offers substantial weight savings
MSL has been working with DIAB for two years and they are very satisfied with the collaboration.
 
“Using Divinycell as core material makes it possible for us to save a great deal of weight compared with traditional components”, says Shailendra Panchal at MSL. “A lower overall weight translates into higher speeds as well as reduced power consumption and acceleration inertia. The excellent FST-properties of Divinycell P make it the ideal material choice for building train parts. Choosing Divinycell P we feel we have done everything we can to ensure maximum safety for all.”
