(SABIC)Announcement of the launch of a new flame retardant designed specifically for the railway industry 3D Printing equipment. new materialsTHERMOCOMP LNP AM DC0041XA51be in BerlinInnoTrans 2022 （9 moon 20 Solstice 23 debuted in Japan), Spanish additive manufacturing was also on display.

Flame retardant material LNP THERMOCOMP AM
according to SABIC Says its new materials have been independently tested and comply with EU (standard EN45545) and the United States (standard NFPA-130) railway fire safety standards. SO,THERMOCOMP LNP AM DC0041XA51 is a material compliant with the latest global fire safety regulations for the railway industry.
SABIC Director, Specialized Business Formulation and Application Development Luc Govaerts commented: “We have developed our latest LNP THERMOCOMP AM The materials, which provide regulatory compliant solutions to the rail industry, can be used to print large and complex exterior and interior parts on demand in relatively small quantities. “CAF digital manufacturingof Lucas Esteban Adding: “The flame-retardant capabilities of the new material contribute significantly to current sustainability trends, and its carbon fiber reinforcement and favorable processing allow us to manufacture materials with sufficient rigidity and limited warping.”
In addition to interior and exterior parts, the material is also ideal for printing large tools often used in railway part production and rail repair. As in other sectors of heavy industry and transportation, with the cost of replacing inventory being particularly high, more and more companies are turning to AM,SABIC believed that railway companies could use LNP THERMOCOMP AM Print to dramatically reduce costs.
New materials for railway interiors:LNP ELCRES FST2734E & LNP ELCRIN FST2734EB
exist InnoTrans,SABIC Two additional hardware will also be launched:NL ELCRES FST2734E copolymers and LNP ELCRIN FST2734EBwho is the first by 55% Materials made from renewable raw materials. Both materials comply with the same European fire protection standards mentioned above and are considered ideal for railway interiors. Next NL ELCRES FST2734E And LNP ELCRIN FST2734EB The level meets EN 45545 R1-HL2 level/Strict fire safety requirements for vertical interior surfaces, including ceilings and walls. These regulations aim to minimize the impact of heat, smoke and toxic gases on passengers and staff. The new material is one of the few colorable thermoplastics capable of strictly complying with European regulations, considered a global benchmark.
NL ELCRES FST2734E The copolymer and its bio-based equivalent were developed for the extrusion process to produce thermoformable sheets. The new material is perfectly suited to the thicknesses of 2-5 mm between panels.
Compared to metals and thermosetting resins,NL ELCRES FST2734E Copolymers and their bio-based versions provide greater freedom to design new panel configurations and integrate aesthetics, components and functionality without requiring secondary operations. For example, decorative films can be applied to thermoplastic panels during the extrusion process, while thermoset parts require a separate application step. Brackets and fixings can be integrated by laser welding without the need for adhesives. Likewise, the material reduces volatile organic compounds associated with paints (VOC) cost, time and emissions, while paint is generally used on metal and thermoset panels. The excellent chemical resistance of the new material makes it easy to clean, helping to extend the life of the part. These materials will be 2022 end of year or 2023 It was put into commercial service earlier this year.
3DPrint railway fields
The use of additive manufacturing in planes, cars, ships and rockets appears to be receiving more attention than its use in the rail sector. However, rail is expected to be an increasingly attractive market for the additive manufacturing industry due to the importance of rail transportation to virtually all commerce, the ongoing equipment maintenance required, and the seemingly endless vulnerability of the railway industry at stops.Fraunhofer ILTfor development 3D There is great interest in printing railway applications, which makes Berlin the SABIC A suitable choice for launching new materials.
Additionally, Saudi Arabia committed earlier this year to tripling its rail capacity, meaning these materials are as important to domestic as they are to international markets. Considering that Saudi Arabia is trying to prove on the world stage that it is in full transformation。
