Railroad Applications

Rapid Installation  - Silicoflex gland sets and bonds in minutes


Temperature Insensitive - Silicoflex gland is flexible from -60° F. to 450° F.


Durable - Long life in field performance based on its weather resistant and low stress design.


Ultra Violet/Ozone Resistant - Silicoflex gland, comprised of inorganic silicone, is highly resistant to the damaging effects of UV rays and ozone attack.


Accommodates Directional Changes - Vertical upturns and directional changes in plan can be factory vulcanized to simplify installation procedure.  Field splice kits are also available.


No Mixing of Adhesive - Single component, high strength silicone adhesive is supplied in caulking tubes for quick application.


Monolithic - Silicoflex is manufactured in continuous monolithic segments eliminating the need for field splicing.


Low Stress Design - During normal cyclic movement of the joint, the Silicoflex gland is not in tension.  Because of this the possibility of a cohesive failure of Silicoflex is non-existent.
