Trevira CS for rail transport
As in all modes of transport, international rail traffic has particular requirements when it comes to protection against fire. Recent years have also witnessed a development towards creating attractive design in passenger coach interiors, on the one hand, to produce a comfortable environment, but also to pursue the trend towards individualisation with specific design elements. Increasingly stimuli from the contract sector are now influencing the interior styling. Here it is the use of textiles that to a large extent determines the total impact made by the passenger and dining areas on trains. In this respect flame retardant Trevira CS fabrics meet the demands in terms of both safety and design.
