Birch plywood for rail transport

Tough on impact, gentle on ears

Birch plywood plays an important role in rail transport, enhancing passenger comfort by minimising vibrations and reducing noise in train car walls and floors. Additionally, its high bending strength makes it an excellent flooring choice for cargo wagons, ensuring effective protection of the wagon structure and cable installations from various forms of mechanical impact.

  • Good load-bearing properties
  • High mechanical endurance
  • Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
  • Helps to improve vibration and sound absorption for higher comfort
  • Anti-slip surface provides secure cargo transportation
