Safe and High-Performance Seating Solutions for Public Transportation
Safe and High-Performance Seating Solutions for Public Transportation
Safety, durability, lightweight design, and flexibility are key priorities in public transportation seating. Materials used in seat components must withstand mechanical loads, impact, vibration, and temperature fluctuations while delivering dimensional stability, high surface quality, and efficient processing throughout serial production.
Fire safety is equally critical. ECE R-118 sets burning behavior requirements for interior materials used in road-based public transportation vehicles, while EN 45545-2 addresses fire protection requirements for railway applications. Under EN 45545-2, seat and backrest shells are evaluated within the R6 requirement set, including heat release, smoke density, and smoke toxicity criteria.
At eurotec®, we combine fire safety, mechanical performance, surface quality, and processing efficiency to provide material solutions tailored to the demanding requirements of public transportation seating.
For railway applications, Tecolen® HP20 GR25 NL XA89 is a 25% glass fiber reinforced, halogen-free flame-retardant and heat-stabilized homopolymer PP compound. It achieves the HL3 hazard level under EN 45545-2 R6 for heat release, smoke density, and smoke toxicity. Its UL 94 V-0 rating, 960°C glow-wire performance, and high surface quality make it a strong material solution for large seating components.
For road-based public transportation, Tecolen® CP30 BK030 FH30 meets ECE R-118 requirements and is used for upper and lower plastic seat covers as well as insert components. Its easy processability and assembly advantages contribute to efficient and reliable serial production.
Our ABS portfolio also offers ECE R-118-compliant solutions for seating applications. Grey Tecotek® AB40 GR098 PF30 is developed for seat backrests, while Tecotek® AB40 GR377 PF30 is designed for armrests. Both grades combine high surface quality, resistance to outdoor conditions, project-specific color options, and easy processability.
With the Tecolen® and Tecotek® product families, eurotec® delivers material solutions designed to meet the demanding safety and performance requirements of modern public transportation — addressing EN 45545-2 R6 for railway applications and ECE R-118 for road-based public transportation, while supporting durability, design flexibility, and efficient production.
