Public transport
Within the sector of public transport the CAST-FORM® technique is very widely applicable in terms of impact resistance (hufterproof) and fire resistance. The polyurethane used for the public transport sector complies with all standards of fire resistance.
The edge finishing with the CAST-FORM® technique can be used for plywood, sandwich, honeycomb and glass panels. Furthermore, we can cast to thin panels a so-called safety edge, which means that the edge is wider/higher than the panel.
Backrests
In the public transport sector, high demands are made on fire resistance. KROV BV pours a fire-resistant and impact-resistant polyurethane edge on backrests. Also here it is possible to choose extra provisions in the edge finishing, for example recesses for armrests and handles.
Tables in public transport
In keeping with modern times, compartments are also furnished as workplaces with all amenities. High demands are made in terms of design, durability, fire resistance and safety. The CAST-FORM® polyurethane edge can fully meet these requirements. With our technique we can also cast thickened polyurethane edges on tables; this will protect the passenger as much as possible.
Sidewalls for mountain trains
Mountain trains run on an often steep and straight route. The construction of these trains entails that the benches are placed straight with respect to the angle of inclination. The sides of these benches are usually made of plywood finished with a CAST-FORM® polyurethane edge.
Partitioners
In several trains, lowered partitions are installed with high edge. These lowered walls are usually made of honeycomb panels. Because the CAST-FORM® technique makes it relatively easy to provide a honeycomb panel with a high edge finish the knowledge and experience of Krov BV is often called upon.
Advantages CAST-FORM®
Increased shock and abrasion resistance
The CAST-FORM® edge offers possibilities to apply (ergonomic) polyurethane edges to work and desk surfaces with increased impact and wear resistance. Also the freedom of shape of the polyurethane edge is almost unlimited.
Durability and hygienic
The CAST-FORM® properties of a door finish with polyurethane, are its enormous impact resistance, fire resistance and cleanability. Besides durability, hygiene is an important factor when we think of a door finish in a hospital or nursing home.
Sandwich panels
The CAST-FORM® polyurethane finish can also be poured onto sandwich panels without any significant pre-treatment. Think of honeycomb, foam or EPS filling.
HACCP proof
With the right design the CAST-FORM® polyurethane finish is very durable and cost effective. Because of the easy cleaning of a polyurethane application you can more easily operate within the HACCP (Hazardous Analyses Critical Control Points), a mandatory quality system for food companies.
Fireproof
The CAST-FORM® technique is also widely used in train equipment. Think for example of a train table or a back rest for the train chair. This polyurethane technique meets all requirements in the field of fire resistance. Also the impact resistance increases enormously while a 40mm polyurethane edge is easy to realize.
The CAST-FORM® technique
The CAST-FORM® technique also gives the possibility to create impact buffers and housings, to cover axles with polyurethane and to protect electronics against moisture. Also making LED lights into a diffuse light line is possible with our polyurethane technique.
