TPEE Materials: They have excellent flexibility at room temperature and low temperature, as well as excellent resistance to flexure cracking, high elasticity, and good anti-stress relaxation and creep performance. They have a good, comprehensive performance.
Types of Railway Pad
Classification by Laying Position: Taking the steel base plate as the boundary, it can be divided into the elastic cushion on the steel base plate and the elastic cushion under the steel base plate.

Classification by Structure: There are flat plate structures, groove structures, and plate-nail structures. The elastic pads with groove and plate-nail structures provide high resilience through flexural and shear deformations. They have a fast elastic recovery speed and a low dynamic stiffness, which can give full play to the comprehensive usage effect of the elastic cushion.
