Transportation applications
Due to their properties, fiberglass products are used in a wide range of applications in the transport industry. Particularly in the aerospace industry and in the construction of ships and railroads, manufacturers benefit from the optimum stiffness and weight ratio, high fire protection and low susceptibility to corrosion of fiberglass products.

Railroad
Fiber composites are increasingly being used in rail vehicle construction. They are light, stable, weather-resistant and can even meet high fire classes.
In addition, as a result of globalization, the railroads are facing increasing competition as a means of transport.
In order to improve the competitiveness of the railroad, the wagons must lose weight while maintaining their durability and corrosion resistance.
In contrast to the conventional aluminum and steel construction, wagons with GRP are 25% lighter and thus have lower fuel consumption and higher speed as well as easier disposal.

Our products are used in the air transportation of people and goods due to their strength and low weight. Our composite fabrics therefore make a significant contribution to weight savings and emission reduction. The P-D FibreGlass Group is a certified Airbus supplier with a range of products.
