RAILROAD / TRANSIT PRODUCTS
1. Railseal - an Interface for Railway Tracks
PPI Railseal profiles are designed to provide a smooth surface for motor vehicle and
pedestrian crossings. They are engineered to increase the effective performance life of
surface materials and track structures when rail is imbedded in bituminous asphalt or
concrete. The patented profiles are designed to provide a flexible transition between the
surface materials and the dynamic track structure. Performance Polymers' unique patented
sealing design and end locking system substantially reduces moisture infiltration and the
resulting contamination of the ballast. Specific profiles are available for all rail sizes
and fastening configurations. Profiles also can be designed for specific applications.

shelf Interfacing System.
1.2
Industrial Applications: Your unique problem is our custom
solution.
1.3
Transit Designs: Engineering experience, specific products to
meet new construction or system maintenance requirements.
2. Vibration Dampening pads for Concrete Highway Grade Crossings.
The patented pads are designed as an interface between preformed concrete surface panels
and concrete ties at Rail / Highway intersection. The pads are engineered to maximize
vibration dampening and load distribution. The patented side flap holds the pad in place
during installation and eliminates the possibility of the pad movement in service.
