Use Case: Amtrak regional passenger railcar needed a flexible Fire Smoke Toxicity (FST) Compliant Window Seal
Client: A well-known rail OEM that offers design, manufacture, and end-use system integration.
Solution: Seal-Fast Silicone FST Compliant Window Seal – Flexible Around Window Radii
PROBLEM:
- The original seal was not FST approved.
- The original door seal design was difficult to install around challenging radii due to its profile's form factor and the material's relative inflexibility. This led to a poor fit and water leakage.
SOLUTION:
- The client used a Seal-Fast™ FST Silicone edge mount bulb seal.
- Meets the FST requirements laid out by ASTM.
- Its flexibility and design form meant it fit snugly around the corner radii of the window and gripped the surface tightly.
SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS
- Easy application with finger pressure, with no adhesives
- Saves time and money with quick assembly
- Metal substrate gives it an “aerospace standard” grip strength
- 100s of profiles available
- Made in the USA
