A rail pad, also called rail sole plate, rail rubber plate, is designed between the rail tie plate and rail foot, made by an elastic polyurethane mat, which is interposed between steel rails and tie sleepers to protect the sleeper top from wearing and impacting.
Grooved rail pads located between the underside of the rail and the top of the sleeper provide effective shock attenuation and extended service life.The combination of grooved design and selected rubber gives these pads a unique high elasticity, firmness and resistance to weathering.
