Our vacuum insulation composite
panel provides increased energy
savings, increased cargo space,
and high durability. It ensures the safe delivery
of product and reduces the risk of spoilage. It also
has exceptional dimensional stability making it ideal
for use in tight fitting panel joints.

Our door plug panels are
constructed of FRP
composite materials utilizing
corrugations, high
performance vacuum panels
and foam insulation. These
door panels ensure maximum
thermal protection with a
total R value of 40+ and are
easily installed using
adhesives. |

New high performance composite
components are in development to improve R-values and increase
durability and performance of conventional rail cars.
For higher insulation value, Martin
Marietta Composites has explored new uses for vacuum-insulated
panels. Vacuum insulation increases R-value and helps eliminate
thermal shorts. One inch of Martin Marietta Composites’ vacuum
insulated panels is equivalent to four inches of urethane foam
- with an R-value of 40. This technology is being used in rail car
floors, roofs, walls and doors.
TRANSONITE®,
the patented 3-D fiber-reinforced sandwich material is
also being evaluated for rail car roofs and walls.
Other fiber-reinforced polymer applications
for rail freight include:
- Pallet racks
- Gondola covers
- Boxcar and autorack doors
- Bridge plates for autorack cars
